Kzoo Posted June 10, 2014 Share #2 Posted June 10, 2014 The software will be upgraded tomorrow. Sorry for the short notice. Here is a fully functional demo. Do we have to be prepared to move to a new place. Are you going to suggest that we go to The OG for a few days and then complain when we do. Are we going to have to find someone to start a new forum because of a botched upgrade. I vote for RG. Ya, he can do it - the RG Forum. Has a nice ring to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former member Posted June 10, 2014 Share #3 Posted June 10, 2014 Are we gonna hate the change, and need to start a new forum? If we do that, don't tell Nate or Thaddeus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtermite Posted June 10, 2014 Share #19 Posted June 10, 2014 That demo is NOT fully functional. I opened a dos window and it gave bad command for every dos command I tried. Another bug...I opened the "internet browser" and browsed to same page. I was surprised that demo worked within the browser in the demo. However, when I tried to do it again for the second level, it failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtermite Posted June 10, 2014 Share #20 Posted June 10, 2014 I saw that. Either way, that's a pretty cool site. It's a cool idea. It would be better if it were truly fully functional. Kinda like that emulator for M68K instruction code that lets you play all the old arcade video games that people made ROM dumps of. Now that was cool. It was so truly fully functional that you still had to deposit a quarter to play (they mapped a function key to it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted June 11, 2014 Share #34 Posted June 11, 2014 I liked the uber-responsiveness of DOS programs. Even modern computers don't seem to be that snappy!

Kzoo Posted June 11, 2014 Share #35 Posted June 11, 2014 I hated win 3.1 (OS/2 was much better), but I miss DOS. OS/2 was a huge bloated OS but it certainly was more stable than 3.11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share #46 Posted June 11, 2014 The forum will (probably) be upgraded, but there isn't anything to upgrade to yet. We will stay with the same forum software company, but we will evaluate a major release of the software. I will migrate everything we have here to a test site and let you all play with it. If we feel it is an improvement we'll upgrade, otherwise we won't. Crap will not be thrust upon you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
