    You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

    Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

        Likely a sign of a race, somewhere, in the code. Hard to test for so it has to be avoided at the design stage.

        My biggest lament is losing Brief. Too many timing loops that now run so fast you can't type without filling the screen with that ONE character!

                been decades, but wasnt there a replacement for that?
                something like qemm386?

                and then you have freedos - that's full 32bit and handles modern hardware.

                    ^ Huh. I didn't even think about that. QEMM v9 should work damn fine...

                        Turn it off. I think Windows will still load but will be cramped for memory.

                        Or, use something like 386MAX.
