There is a 5th dimension,beyond that which is known to man.It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity,between science& superstition,& it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.This is the dimension of imagination.It is an area which we call PCLINUXOS!

Windows 3.1

We don't have windows 3.1 anymore, but
we do still have KDE 3.x.x

EDIT:28 November 2012, 23:41:44 - A Vegemite sandwich was consumed during the writing of this post.

I never have had the pleasure (or displeasure) of a Vegemite sandwich, but I would love to try one, if for no other reason than to say I have had one.

Fascinating article. I have never understood how Windows -- not only with NT but with Windows 95 -- managed to take over the market when OS/2 (although lacking a lot of necessary drivers) was so obviously superior. No I realize that it wasn't only because IBM's potential customers were stupid; the idiocy originated in IBM's marketing department and management.


For the life of me I can't see why Windows ME didn't put them out of business for good. That was my first experience with a computer--I knew less than nothing about them then and if I had known I certainly wouldn't have bought what was probably the worst os ever made. The fact that ME didn't destroy the company either shows that Microsux is very resilient or there are a lot of people who are gluttons for punishment.
No - it just comes installed on the PC like the iphone comes with a phone contract - that is how things get popular but not better.

Windows ME never became popular, at least not with anyone I ever met who had had the misfortune of owning a computer with that on it. I never heard one good word about it, ever.

MS's climax was XP. They should have made that OS a "rolling release" and just stuck with it. Everything since has been a disaster IMHO.

I hope "8" will cause hardware vendors to stop doing what they are doing and start selling "PC Hardware".  :D

I know a somewhat more crude version of that and the last part says see which hand fills up the quickest.

True, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger (or is it stranger?).
