Great, just like upgrading from 98 to xp we have to start all over again :Christz_p

[Michael]

Don't think I will bother upgrading for a year or two!!

Ditto - A lot of trouble and a lot of investment down the drain if Vista has issues with programs running on XP.

XP works fine for me... so fine in fact I've forgotten all about the regular re-install to refresh routine so used to with '98 'dowses from all those years back...

XP has been and will continue to be bliss(for me)

although!... the PC is running slowly now, from all the crapola I've installed/uninstalled... :jumping-s

Some of you probably remember Windows 3.11, that was and will always be my favourite version. 95 and ME were a disgrace whilst 2000 and XP SP2 makes amends. I read CNET.com.au and a fw other sites and none of them have been overly complimentary with Vista. I ordered Vista through my distributor and then after having read a review reverted back to XP Pro SP2. I agree, wait a few months before you buy Vista unless you want to lose more hair :vomit-smi

Windows 3.1/3.11 only looked so good because it replaced 3.0 :food-smil

Still got that around here somewhere i think...

[Nicko]

I even remember windows 2.0! Shocking graphics :eek:

:action-sm mmmm I remember DOS followed by the original windows...now that's scary! :eek:

[Nicko]

DOS, I only go back as far as DOS 5 :soapbox

[gammapisigma]

DOS 3 and another classic Word for DOS 3.something. Only got rid of the floppy discs for them last year.

Gawd!!!
I remember PC DOS 1.0 (early eighties?, nineteen hundreds to you youngsters!) and before that CP/M-80.
Anyone remember the Aussie Microbee? I still have one in working order.
GPS was yet to be conceived?

Back to my coffin now. :laughing-

A very good friend of mine was a hardware/software engineer for Microbee. In those days you were both the software and hardware engineer.

My old man has a perfectly working order Sinclair Z80. Might try and sell it on eBay :laughing-

I can remember every version of DOS. I still think I've got a copy of the DOS 5 manual somewhere. It was the last time you got a decent OS manual. I think the first version of Windows I used was 2.something. I remember writing a small AI script/program in notepad for a computer class at school. Does anyone remember Works ver 1. I do. You had a word processor, spreadsheet and database program all on a floppy. I remember 20MB hard drives were endless. Now those were the days

[mitchofsutho]

How about the old Commodore 64. The files were storaged on a cassette tape. How PC's have progressed from those days!

[Nicko]

I remember the Commodore VK when it came out :grinning-

How about the old Commodore 64. The files were storaged on a cassette tape. How PC's have progressed from those days!I must of had the deluxe model as I had 2 floppy drives.

[arthurking83]

I think all Commodores since the VB(now that's a great name!) had two floppy drives!

I used the microbee at school in the early eighties along with an Apple II.

I started at home on a Tandy TRS-80 Extended Colour Basic with a whopping 16k of memory to play with.

It had a cartridge port and cassettes. It was colour and could generate 8 colours but only four at a time. :hatoff

6th February 2007 - New release version 3.95.4p of OziExplorer is available for download from the OziExplorer Software page. The only changes made are to fix some issues when using the Windows Vista operating system.

[Nicko]

In otherwords compensating for Vista's bugs!

I would call them idiosyncrasies rather than bugs but maybe I am too kind?

[Pocileh]

Bugs!!! :blah

First time I heard about bugs was debugging (didn't know that was what I was doing) a Commodore VIC-20 program I wrote.
Had something to do with stars IIRC.

Will never get rid of them :crutches

Hi all,

First computer was Amstrad 464 with cassette drive then updated to a 6128 with hard floppy drive. These were the opposition to the Commodore range. I still remember going to Uni in 1972 and landing a space craft on the moon (simulator) with a PDP 8e computer which saved software programs to punch hole ticker tape. Programming language was Fortran and programming was done on postcard size cards with holes punched through them. Long slow process. Computer occupied same space as average garden locker.
Lots of flashing lights. Retirement age must be approaching. :dig

I think I can beat that. How about programming spherical trigonometry using Fortran in 1966 on an IBM computer that was in a large size room. Followed in 1979 with creating a black jack game in Basic on a micro computer called a Sorcerer.

Incidentally there are no such things as bugs just undocumented enhancements (or so a programmer told me once).
