See dos run. Run dos run

I'm switching back to dos. Ever since I installed Chrome to relieve security issues with IE, I've had to work around things I was used to. Most of my web pages have no back arrow. If you click the tiny site icon on the top left you get a menu that lets you copy, paste, reload, go back, etc. That's 2 clicks to do what one did. I tried fixing this to no real avail. Now I'm using ctl R and backspace to do these things. Happier I am.

I miss DOS too, but the lack of GUI would make navigation a pain in the tookus...

Get a mouse with a back button. Problem solved.

To this day I still install a 360K 5.25 drive in every desktop system I set up, I guess in the off chance I want to boot to DOS 2.11. Gets me to wondering if the floppies are still readable.

I don't like Chrome either. I only installed it because of IE security issues too, and because Firefox doesn't play well with my credit union's website. At least Firefox maintained a pretty "Explorer-like" user interface that is familiar (and works). I'm thankful I only have to get to one site on Chrome.

Firefox or bust.

Nobody else still uses those old AOL internet disks?

A while back, I was helping my mom with some stuff and realized that AOL was still taking 29.95 out of her bank account for dial-up service. My dad had set it up and she never used it, and when he died she didn't know what it was until she asked me, like three years later. We called the bank and canceled the charge, we never heard from AOL.

I told my mom, I'm pretty sure it got mentioned at the weekly AOL Shareholders meeting that they finally lost the last dial-up account.

I have a single sided disk of compaq dos 1.01 in the archives along with lotus version 1 and word perfect.

Of course I do nOT want to go back in time. After 1995 everything changed.

i have to do something soon
I have two weeks left on windows XP.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Oh, I have versions before and after; 2.11 is just the one I spent the most time in, back in 84, 85 on my Zenith 151... I go back to before anybody had even a fake OS for micros, wiring up Z80 systems on the breadboard and programming them with dipswitches. 256 bytes of RAM, baby!

 

[snapping turtle]

I keep my commodore pet with 8k of ram at my old bedroom at mom and dads. Looks just like something from star
trek. It still works. Z80's been there done that. One whole summer mowing lawns to by an IBM XT with 10 meg hard drive and color monitor. Over 3k which in hind sight should have been spent on guns. Full auto guns to be pre 1986 specific.

opera is the classic browser, it's written in assembler I believe

All the different browsers are a PIA. Most of the sites are formatted for use with IE. That means I have to have 3 different browsers loaded to deal with the deficiencies this creates. I have one site that only works properly with Chrome. I have one site that only works with Safari. Maybe someday everyone will get their heads out of their rears and realize that the world does not revolve around Microsoft.

Firefox user here. I always had issues with Chrome. Not with Firefox.

 

[Ruger-9mm]

Funny, I never have any issues with Chrome, other than big brother Google, which is why I have a thowaway Gmail account I use for it. Firefox never does things the way I want, and it's a pain to have to set up syncing my bookmarks across all of my devices when Chrome does it by default. If Safari was still made for Windows, I'd jump to that in a hearbeat.

The real estate industry is horrible about this.

I use Chrome at work and I'm thinking I have the necessary controls on that particular browser.
