I've really been wondering what game this was You may be thinking of "Deadly Tide", a Microsoft game staged under the ocean.
TinyELF - COSMAC CDP Emulator for Mac OS X If I recall, on the Windows 98 cd there was another game demo, one where a futuristic spaceship thing was flown through a dark and stormy night, complete with portals and the like. I think it's just a really faithful re-creation. It's cool, but I'm not sure if it's an emulator. I'm learning as I go and really appreciate the feedback. I shall attempt to be less of a snarky dbag in future videos. It was created for console-mode Linux, but has been ported to Windows. There are many "commanders" available for current Windows computers.Ĭlosest in look and feel to the Norton original is Midnight Commander. I honestly don't know why MS couldn't let you edit things in the regular Windows 8. The ship was damaged beyond repair but 8. I do not have a touch screen monitor, what was Microsoft thinking? If I had known Microsoft 8 was such a headache, I would never have bought this new computer. They can do whatever they want with Windows 8.
It is at the Geek shop to have Windows 7 put in. I have fought this new computer from day 1. As a "not real tech saavy" computer user, I absolutely hate Windows 8. I am going to integrate this into my elementary computer class! Operating System Unit. In fact we plan to attend the 27th annual Coleco Adam users' convention in Cleveland Adamcon 27 in mid-July. She also has the emulator for the Adam, the 8-bit computer built up from the popular Colecovision video game. It lets her play with her favourite Amiga graphics programs without firing up her Amiga, which she uses for the spreadsheet on which she keeps the household accounts. Sane people choose the answers that work best. Why should it be a big deal to look for the tool that does the job you need the way you need it done - and refuse to waste time and money messing around with something not as good because it's new? That's nuts. In fact, she needs two other spreadsheets for two other purposes, so she uses a quirky independent one from a long-discontinued suite called Easy Office, in the XP Virtual Machine on her Win7 Dell, and Kingsoft's free Office competitor for the other.īecause they work.
So she set it up to do just that and has every incentive not to change. You might not even agree the new one works as well as the old XP forever! The Amiga is a good, powerful, very user-friendly computer, with a spreadsheet program my wife found highly adaptable to just exactly what she wanted to do the way she wanted to do it. Just because Ford brings out a new model of your car doesn't mean the old one stops working. But it's simple enough for a knowledgeable user to tamper with and adjust to suit, like being simpler and easier to work with.
The software did the job then and can still be set up to do the job now. Why not? Moore's Law even applies in classic computers now folks have got them driving current printers, running SSD hard discs based on CF cards, and other neat tricks. On chat tonight one participant reported he still does his US federal income tax, and state tax, on an Adam - 8 bits, 64K memory. I remember Easy Office! It ran from a k floppy disk on my IBM compatible Tandy The poor man's Lotus of the time.
