Perfered Programming Language

so it basicly more trouble than its worth

well, If you can stand the standard 640x480x4-bit resolution that you'll be able to use with a new 512MB Geforce or Radeon, and don't need internet, and like having 1984 megabytes of RAM being unused out of your 2GB, and think MMX,SSE,and the other extensions are laughable, and don't want to watch DVD's (or burn them, for that matter), then yeah, it's worth the trouble. (oh yeah, you'll probably need to dig out a Floppy drive, and most newer computers don't even have a Floppy Disk controller on-board, so you'll need to get a PCI adapter for that, and guess what! It's sure to not include drivers for DOS or win 3.1, making installation of either impossible anyway.

i could survive the 640x480 resolution i have my display set to that all the time(of course i can get way better res but im just used to having a small desktop to keep track of all the icons i have on it.)

[BC_Programmer]

err- the lower the resolution the fewer icons fit on the screen...


what about only 16 colors?

[macdad-]

that would be kinda annoying. i have it set to 24bit colors. but the keeping track of my icons, i use folders keeps your desktop easier to manage. i have a folder for my batch programs, my security progs, etc.

[BC_Programmer]

how many icons do you have?

And I lied, there actually is a Super VGA driver that works in 800x600 on almost any Video card. But it's still 16 colours.

[macdad-]

well i have a regular VGA monitor and i have 21 icons on my desktop, 5 of them are the My computer, my docs, recycle bin, network places, and Internet Explorer, and 3 of them are folders i made, the rest are shortcuts to my apps on my computer.

How did you get it to display 640x480? XP (if that is what you're running) only goes down to 800x600...

I have 47 icons. I can probably erase a lot of them. I'd have more, but I organized some of them into folders on the desktop.

[macdad-]

whoops sorry i had it set to 600x480 but i normally have it at 800x600. I have Win 2K and you can get it down to that size.

Go batch files lol I'm not much of a programmer....
