    Let's not forget "Hello World!"

    Did the same with 5-1/4" floppies myself for the Commodore. I just gave it away in January when we moved along with the original monitor, 1200 baud modem, floppy drive, single button joystick and about 500 disks. It was with that very system I first surfed the web dialing into a friend's Amiga tied to UMSL.

    load $
    load term
    ATDT
    etc.

    Old fart, guilty as charged. I really liked DESQView and I used it for a two line BBS as well.

    I remember a day long before this Plug-N-Play when you had to set the IRQ, DMA and base address for an adapter with a multitude of jumpers in a complex array and no IRQ, DMA or base address could be shared among adapters. Same with motherboards that supported more than one CPU. Jumper city. AND you had to configure the text files autoexec.bat and config.sys (with LOADHIGH). Kids these days slap a PC together in an hour and think "I'm so tech savvy!"
    I might be second generation IT but i remember the IRQ days as well, and trying to find drivers for stuff that didnt have one was like pulling teeth. You had to install the driver first and then shutdown, install the hardware, set the irq in the cmos, and then boot into windows. Those were the days for me though. The kids these days dont know how easy they have it, single button click instant gratification. Anyone remember logowriter on the apple II gs? The turtle draws a circle and then essentially craps the color of your choosing into it, did more then that but thats my fondest memory of it using it in school. Good times.

I used it briefly for a multi-line BBS until I switched to TBBS which was natively multi-line. Windows 95 was a joke compared to OS/2. I never went beyond OS/2 Warp 3. I switched to Windows NT and have been with them pretty much every alternate version since. I'm running Win10. Screw Windows 11. When Windows 12 comes out, I'll wait a year and then think about getting it.
    I still look back on DOS with a great deal of affection...

    What truly makes me feel old is when i moved last time, i found a hole puncher for 3.5" Floppy Disks. It would turn a 720k Floppy into a 1.44MB and i was so excited!

    Code:
    10 CLS
    20 PRINT "I am so smart!"
    30 GOTO 20

    No you did not, nor do I suggest you did. Just nudging anyone who needs nudging not to forget about us Mac users. It's not all about you unfortunate Windoze users!

    Uninstalling SF with Total Uninstall and re-installing SF fixed that.

    Netflix is fully fixed in 6.1.8.2. I have yet to find a new title that doesn't work in FHD
    Channel 4 module seems to be working fine too + Amazon.
