Impromptu Km Chat

Filthy Microsoft. I BLAME WINDOWS ME!!! WINDOWS ME!!!
That's one reason why I went back to 98 (hint hint) and that's why people are also going to Linux and other OS's I and a few other people don't use MSIE either. I use Avant browser which is brilliant and sometimes Netscape which have built in popup stoppers and for my email I use Yahoo, Lycos, fadmail, mail15 and Shandango mail, all of which have larger mail boxes than Hotmail. All what I mentioned are more reliable and much better than the related Microsoft products I believe. As with you're Internet Explorer programme Skarks, it might br a simple easy to solve problem and then again maybe not. You might want to reinstall IE. Anyway the subject of KM chat...

If only I had a modem for my Amiga 1200...no Microsoft there...never any viruses, no pop-ups, no problems.
Just be a bit slow, that's all.
But anyway...
-
It's not Microsoft! Admittedly that's like saying the BNF aren't Nazis, (just the next best thing) but hey, it's not. Filthy Microsoft. I BLAME WINDOWS ME!!! WINDOWS ME!!!
Windows ME is truly filthy. I loathe it with a passion.

I used to have problems with a 500 where most of my games used to crash and I'd get these funny error messages. As for ME GG, one thing I loathe more than ME is XP. One reason I went back to ME was because my computer kept freezing and eventually would hardly even startup and I remember that I used to be logged onto this forum for days because my computer kept freezing and wouldn't startup for days and so I couldn't log out. I could only then remember when I was on ME previously that I hadn't had no problems with it. It was only when I went back to it that I remembered downloading a programme which automatically downloads and fixes corrupt and or missing files. Silly me didn't right down the name of it and so couldn't remember what it was called nor find it or download it again. I have a different larger faster computer, which has 98 on it and now don't have many problems.

Yes, I'm also using ME because of problems with other versions. I find ME freezes a lot too, though. I tend to have to reboot at least twice per day, which gets really tiresome.
-
We've had this system two months and already it won't shut down properly.
Going back to Amigas, the wonderfully-named yet annoying 'Guru meditations' (i.e. system crashes) still allowed you to reboot the system because it knew SOMETHING had gone wrong. PCs just freeze and give you no indication of anything. And Windows alone takes up 1GB of disk space. I think early Amiga Operating Systems (Ah, Workbench) came on three floppy disks.
The latest Workbench took up 35MB, with media player, a couple of games, lots of useful things like editing your own icons and changing the palette, a special Christmas scheme, Internet software and e-mail client and more. It cost £30.
I think Windows XP costs £100-ish...and of course contains hideous amounts of swearing in the code. True.
-
It would help if Windoze was truly functional, instead of a bloated, badly-coded, self-congratulatory mess.
Sounds like me during the past week. The subject of prices I saw a version of ME for about £80 or so :o. goes to look on Ebay for Linux OS's. Has anyone seen my pic and text on my profile? Can anyone think of any Knightmarish MS jokes then?

Treguard boots up Windows and enters MS word
Treguard: "Ah, now to write chapter six of my memoirs at Knightmare castle. Had some good adventures he- just a minute. This assistant paperclip looks a lot like Pickle..."
Pickle paperclip: "Hello master! I managed to make it into the latest version of Windows!"
Treguard: "Oh, um, good for you. I think."
Pp: "What are you trying to do?"
T: "Trying to write the next chapter of my memoirs."
Pp: "I'm sorry master. You've performed an illegal operation."
T: "What? I've only just turned this contraption of technomagic on!"
Pp: "Your memoir file is missing or corrupted. Abort, retry or fail?"
T: "Pickle?! What are you doing? I just want to write-"
Pp: "Error code 08x0cc1a5."
T: "Ooh, nasty. Still, I have one trick up my sleeve..."
Pp: "What is that master?"
T: "D-I-S-M-I-S-S!"
Pp: "Noooo master! Voice slows down Anythiiinnng buuut thaaaat...daiiisy daiiisy, giiive meee your annnsswerrrrr dooooo..."
T: "I should have stuck with this Amiga. It does have that game with me in it, after all."
A taste of what has happened to me...

I love Windows 98, which I'm currently using on my stopgap PC. (after ME killed my new one) Unfortunately, Norton Antivirus 2004 (which I swear by, along with Zonealarm and Mozilla) WILL NOT install on 98 since it insists on IE 5.01 or higher. (which also WILL NOT install on 98) Meh. So I'm currently usin AVG (WHICH IS FREE PEOPLE!) while fuming about having paid £40 for Norton.

AMEN SISTER!
Ah, the glorious Amiga. My trusty 600 is currently having difficulties with the joystick port. (in that the fire buttin doesn't work, and I know it's not the joystick since it's fine with my Commodore 64) I acquired a 1200 recently, but I've yet to put it through its paces. It has a hard-drive! A HARD-DRIVE!!! ON AN AMIGA!!! I remember Workbench had a "speak" program. I used to make it swear...
-
Just a thought about Amigas though, but why do we think they used amigas in Knightmare?
Because they were the most powerful home computers of their time, and much cheaper than the emerging IBM PCs. I remember that my 600 had much better sound than early PCs
OH GOOD LORD, HOLD EVERYTHING! TITANIC IS #54 IN THE 10 GREEST MOVIES!!! Excuse me while I drown myself in a fishtnk...
-
Um Just a bit of confusion, but how can Titanic be #54 in the top 10 movies of all time? Or did you mean top 100 movies? Anyway back to Knightmare, PC's, Amiga's, jokes, .... Just think, what would've happened if ME or other Windows OS's were used in Knightmare though? I found a website with pics of the dreaded "blue screen of death", where the pics are of major monitors and screens such as at airports and big street screens etc.

Yes, I meant 100. I'm having trouble with my new keyboard, it randomly decides whether a key I hit is actually going to do anything. I BLAME WINDOWS ME!!!
I've seen Windows illegal operation errors on bank ATM screens. I find the fact that they use Windows deeply disturbing...
