Note that WFRNG OS will boot off nearly anything: floppy, USB drive (Jon tested this), CD-ROM, et cetera. So those of you with computers that lack floppy drives, there is no excuse.

Oh, maybe I should have read that before posting. I'll go burn a CD.

Sooner or later, I'm going to dress up like an iMac for Halloween and use that line to terrify my neighborhood.

Yes they will be scared but why? Lack of floppy drive or lack of sanity. Or maybe the mention of iMac...

I'ld totally be scared if an iMac walked up to my door. Unless it had MacOSX or Linux installed.

Yeah, when was that particular strip? Could I find it in one of the Foxtrot books?

I don't remember what year, but I did read it in a book. It might have been the iFruity book.

Between my brother and I, we own almost all of the anthologies, and a few smaller books.

I'm too lazy to try it out, but can anybody tell me if it uses a GUI?

But seriously, the code is less than a KB, do you really thing anyone could fit a GUI inside that amount of space?

My mistake. It's actually 2.2 KB, sorry.

The OS is actually 399 bytes. The source code is 2.2 KB, of course.

I wonder if they could shrink Windows to that size... :-D That would need a nice huge compressor...

Look at the source and see what to delete... that will shrink it by a lot. "Hey, look, a GUI. How useless, I think I'll delete that. Hey, look, a script to go online and download a virus, I'd better not take that out."

120d!!! How long did it take to copy/paste all those "ha"s? It would probably be possible to make a REALLY small GUI, with only one screen, that couldn't do much but display the GUI, in 1 KB.

It took me about 10 seconds, after pasting the first line, I copied it and pasted lines instead of individual words. You should be glad I didn't paste for a whole minute instead.

If it were me, I would have typed it all, then, when I was done, said, "Oh, I could have just copy/pasted that."
