Dev Environment Screenshot Mass Off-Topicness

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Dev Environment Screenshot Mass Off-Topicness

Post by Coty »

in my opinion a computer does not suck unless it has less than,

x86 16 bit compatible,
500kb ram
VGA compatible
FDD

:lol: Never made an OS that requires that much :lol:

How about the other arch servers - They have several MB ram, but no x86 support, no fdd, and often no vga. Yet they do over a billon operations a second your P3 won't be able to get to :wink:

O.o you develop on windows 3.11?

And installing from CD isn't hard. I have, on hand, a WfW 3.11 CD. (Among pirated copies of any Windows you can think of, and/or easy access to them....)

So is mine; that's not really a feat. A DOS 6.22 floppy with an autoexec.bat, format.com, and FDISK is all you need. Then you play with your favourite CD burning software and presto! Bootable Windows 3.1 CD.

*goes back to writing a menu for the aforementioned CD in QuickBASIC*

Know what surprises me most about the above picture?

No, not that someone is masochistic enough to develop in an emulator. Though that is surprising.

That someone, on an OS Dev forum, which I expected to be full of people with above average knowledge of system maintainance, is still running IE6 as their main browser.

With at least 3 pieces of crapware.

Writing an OS under Menuet is possible. MenuetOS has all the tools to make an OS. But I don't think that is a good environment.
On the other hand, I hate Internet Explorer (especially IE6). I had many virus and other dirts with it.

PS:This is my developing computer, so it is not going to have all of the best software on it

NickG: don't invite people to flame you by flaming/taunting them.

Owen: I use VirtualBox (virtualization) to run Xubuntu, on which I develop TBOS32. It's not that odd.

I suppose I wouldn't mind too much, on the condition the emulator ran full screen. But non full screen? ugh.

I cant run full screen, it really screws with the OS in the emulator, like no text shows up, it glitches, and it goes really slow
