Great... new "NEW" OS. It stinks. Like the Windows versions. Win95 is better than XP. Heh, 1.15 is nothing new, adds drivers for the keyboard. BTW one error I have found: SM (Super Mario) 1.2 seems to lave a drawing error. hmmm... looks like we need to update all our ASM games.

95 better than XP? get real.

Well, same thing with 98 and ME. Guess which one is better? lol

ME sucks balls. Windows 98 is sooo much better than ME. My friend has ME on his new Compaq and it crashes all the time, especially when playing Counter-Strike.

You said it!
I've had ME and it is full of glitches. Actually Win98 Second Edition is better

i totally agree about the ME stuff, but 98 is pretty shitty too (ya, ya it's winblows). and you prolly have an old CS cuz the last one doesn't crash (for me at least). also, Win2K and XP are the best ones and worth an upgrade (oh yes, and turn off that ugly XP skin if you get XP...). Anyways, i'm pretty happy after i switched to XP from Me even though some of my older soft doesn't run on XP even with its fake program compatibility mode.

No, my friend has the latest version of CS but it always freezes and crashes. it is all because of ME. it sucks hardcore.
Windows 98
w00t!

Thats not ME's fault, its compaqs, I have a presario and it has ME and crashes all the time, My friends dell, w/ ME hardly ever crashes, I should of gotten a dell, or a new iMac, I could use a new iMac, ahhhhhhhhh

ME checks for viruses and finds itself!
It is a virus!
ME sucks balls!
lolololo

atleast 95 is unstable enough to run almost any shit-crap program there is on the market. If Microsoft updated the drivers for that thing, I would run it on my computer which is damn fast
Pentium 4 2GHz
Intel 2485G
256MB DDR SDRAM
40GB HDD 7.2k RPM

Don't you mean stable instead of unstable?
Microsoft (and other companies) don't bother to update the Windows 95 drivers because 95 is too old ... they'd rather spend resources updating, say, the XP and 98 drivers.

If you wanna brag about your PC, heres mine, (cough) much (cough) better (cough cough cough cough cough)

Celeron 700
191 MB of Ram (i relize this should be imposiible, but leave it to compaq to screw up its ram recognition, yes i installed it correctly)
15GB Hd 5200 RPM
11MB "virtual" video ram (basically they were to stupid to put in a real video card)
66Mhz system bus

well here is mine

200mhz processor
64 MB RAM
1.99 GB Hard-drive
Windows 98

Beat that

Very nice, heres my Mac Plus, this will beat all:

8Mhz, 68K processor (Yes that is slower than a ti-92+)
1MB of ram
No HD(runs off floppies, absolutely no internal hardrive)
2Mhz bus
single density floppy dirve(floppies that hold only 668K)
Mac OS 1.0

What are we trying to do? Hold a "Who's got the Worst Computer?" contest?

ya we were

yeah well that is the computer that i actuall use for everything. it is the best computer i have.

although i should be getting a new dell very soon.

That is sad, those spects are lower than my old 96 Powerbook, which crawls when you have more than one program open

Oh yeah, well i bet u can't beat a TI-81 with a Z80 running at 6 MHZ with ROM 1.0. :-p

who really cares about a ti-81
not me

It's 2 MHz actually.

thats not a computer

You are wrong. It is a computer.

Think of computer more in the sense of "something that computes" - although this isn't a workable definition.

All ti graphing calculators fit the definition of a computer.

We were having a desktop and notbook battle, not a calc and PDA battle

I think I have the slowest comp here LOL. I happen to have an old IBM PC in my bedroom that I use a lot when i'm not using my faster K6 400.

Specs:
6MHz Intel 8088
640K RAM
DOS 3.30
Very slow 32MB HD
CGA Monitor (capable of 8 colors)
1200 Baud (I think) modem

Can anyone beat that? I think thats like the slowest you can go on a 'real' computer.

I once had a computer with a 4.77 MHz 8088.

LMAO
i have a 4004 based computer

I'm pretty sure there were no 4004 based computers, only a hand calculator. They used 8008 and 8080 for the early computer kits. I do have a 4004 CPU though, I bought it on eBay, but I have nothing to use it for.

Just stick it on the back of your calc LOL. I had a Intel 486DX-33 and I stuck it on the back of the battery case for looks. Of course I had to modify the hard cover, but the result is pretty cool. A lot of people actually like my TI-83+ over theirs just because of a fake decoration! (because they think my calc is powered by a 486, not a Z80 LOL)

I have 2:

Osborne:
2 120k 5 1/4 inch floppy drives
5 inch screen
3 MHz
64k RAM
External HDD (5mb $500, 10mb $1000, 20mb $2500)
Size of a suitcase (mistyped as suitcalc)
25-30 lbs
First portable computer

ACE 1000 Motherboard (although this may not count):
64k ram
6502 proc (probably around 1-3 mhz)
Cartridges (8 slots)
No HDD
FDDs extra $$$
Clone of Apple I

Excuse my rudeness, but how the hell can you think that 95 is better than XP? Windows 95 isn't even totally 32-bit, it runs on top of DOS causing instability and slow bootup, etc, etc, etc..... the list goes on and on and on.......

All versions of windows suck ?

the ? was supposed to be an apple, but it doesn't work in this forum for some reason

I know, only the windows

ÅŠÇÎÏ ÇHÅ®Ãdžʮ §Ê†

works HAHAHA!¡!¡!

other than the apple, all of the mac ASCII set works in this forum, because it is the same, ASCII set, and linux, which this server is run on also uses the same set

Windows 95 runs fine so long as you use it on hardware from 1995 :)

That's funny ...

It's also true. Windows 95 runs beautifully on my Pentium-90 laptop.

wait.....

Let's make sure I understand this correctly. Your member profile says that Windows XP is your main OS. And your bio is that spoof of 'start it up' or whatever saying how bad Windows 95 is. Yet you insist that Windows 95 is better than Windows XP.....

wow, he is pretty stupid

i dont see how 95 can be better when xp can run for weeks without locking up and with 95 your lucky if you can run it for 2-4 hours.... My personal opinion is that any homemade OS is better than windows...

But there is no better OS than Win3.1 ;-)

DOS 6.22 with Windows 3.11 rules! (Well, it doesn't, but at least it's stable, it crashes less than my TI-83+SE :) .)

I have a REALLY old computer with Win 3.1 on it ... it was built in 1992. Sure it's a bit slow, but it's neever crashed on me.

heheh, i have an old comp in my basement too. it has Win 3.1 on it and it runs at 33 mHz and has a very cool TURBO button that let's you run it a 66 mHz and there's even a small display that says at what mHz comp is running! kewl! ;)=)

i miss the TURBO button :'(

My case has one, but it is unconnected.
I can't find a 'turbo' plug on my motherboard for it! ;(

That would be an old case ....
My old computer also had a turbo button (and the cool LED display) but in turbo mode it only ran at 33 MHz. In normal mode it ran at 18 MHz.

Win 3.1 isn't bad. It's entirely 16 bit so it's very stable. Win95 is 16 & 32 bit s it's very unstable. That's why NT based is better. It's all 32-bit.

Win 3.1 is very bad. It can't do as much, and it's very unstable.

Maybe it's not only stability, but also privacy. With every new Service Pack that comes out, you have to allow Windows more and more to go tell everything you're busy with to Big Brother MS.
I wonder how long it will take before everyone will be installing a firewall, not to prevent intruders from getting in, but to prevent Windows from going out...

On a side note, a couple months back, in France, MS got sued for piracy. (Yes the company that fights piracy harder than any other.) Of course they kept this quiet as much as possible. Anyway, to the point, how do you think they obtained the code?

MS got sued for piracy? How? What was MS doing?
This is just too funny ... MS getting sued for piracy.

Press the (webpage) link above. It goes to the newsforge article about it.

hmm, now I looked up the story again that should read: "..a couple months back it leaked out that.."

...and I wonder where I picked up the idea that they remotely obtained the code. Oh, well, it was a couple years back anyway. They're probably capable of a lot more these days. And I just don't trust them...

i'm being forced to use xp

wait a sec...
I meant to say XP is better than 95..
yawn, I need to get rest...
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

don't lie, two comments up you say your forced to use XP, make up your mind!

Well, if he's sleeping then he's probably sleep talking.
