Hi,

Are we detecting just slight lack of reason here...
or is the word politeness? Hombre.

Inquisitive minds will learn from one another no
matter what the discrepancies are in age, culture
or be it preferred choice of stupefaction ;)

In a list such as this one there is no place for
finger pointing of the sort,...


It is about Open Source :)

                                 Remember



Saludos a todos

~ Hi!
~
~ I'm a new d:b user. I have used MS-DOS since 1985
~ and Windows since 1997. But the Windows activation
~ process makes me nervous. Suppose Microsoft goes
~ out of business, and I need to reinstall Windows?
~
~ So I have a question: Can you tell me how to run
~ Internet Explorer on d:b, please?
~
~
~ LOL Just kidding, folks!
~
~ Anyway, I'd been thinking about switching to open
~ source for many years. I am already using many
~ great programs: Emacs (since 2000), GIMP, Firefox,
~ OpenOffice, MPlayer. I still need to find a
~ password manager, a personal finance program
~ comparable to Quicken, and an OS. The inability to
~ view Flash is inconvenient, but maybe Flash content
~ can be converted to Gnash and viewed that way?
~
~ I downloaded d:b because it is intended for old,
~ slow computers. I'm trying it on my oldest
~ computer, Pentium III 500MHz with 128MB RAM. I was
~ really happy that it loaded and works. And I found
~ an even older computer at work: Pentium II MMX,
~ and it runs on that!
~
~ I'd like to help this community by testing, writing
~ / editing docs and creating updated packages
~ (Emacs23.2 for starters, once I figure out how). I
~ do some coding (scripting) but it's mostly in
~ MS-DOS scripting language or a "Variant" of Basic.
~ (Users of Basic might get that joke -- Variant is a
~ undesirable catch-all data type in VB and VBS.)
~ One thing I noticed is that the packages that I
~ downloaded from Extras have a .exe extension that
~ has to be removed (renamed) before they'll get
~ loaded. Perhaps that info should be added to the
~ website?
~
~ Before I end, I want to thank everyone for all the
~ hard work that you put into this. Well done!
