Every "Kids in the Hall" reunion, someone in the troupe comments about the name no longer fitting -- but if they branded honestly would you still buy tickets, or get confused?
Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

I tried to use the computer at the library yesterday for a bit (had to go there because I returned three things that were due on Tuesday but it said one thing wasn't returned, it turns out that they just didn't scan it as returned before putting it back on the shelf - there's no late fees at the library for overdue things anymore, but I didn't want them to mark the DVD as lost which means I would have to pay the cost for the item, although that's if an item is 30 days overdue IIRC, but I just wanted to get it dealt with) and wow I hate using other computers.
Like I have my keyboard set up in a very specific way, namely I used a piece of software to remap the caps lock key so it's instead backspace and I'm so used to being able to just hit that key to delete some text, I kept doing that on the library computer and just turning on all-caps.

The library is where I first got to experience a proper computer. Windows 3.1. I loved it.
I'm pretty sure the oldest OS I've used for an extended period of time is like Windows 98.
I mean I've dabbled in older versions of Windows (I'm pretty sure you can run Windows 3.1 in DOSbox to allow you to play older Windows games), but I wouldn't really call that being 'used'.

I should try DOSbox. I've been using the free version of VMware for my virtual machines, and it has some harsh limitations.
Yeah DOSbox is cool.
Too bad it can't run OS/2. That's not really a fault of DOSbox particularly though. I haven't found anything that runs it well.
Neat.
Amiga was great. I don't know why it didn't catch on here.
Later models had poor marketing and the technological advances couldn't keep up with the IBM PC and compatibles.
If we were living in the Atari/Amiga timeline instead of the Microsoft/Apple timeline I bet we would have flying cars right now.
Considering how many people can barely handle driving on flat ground, do you really thinking adding flying would end in anything but disaster?
*flies over the disaster* Not my problem.
AmigaOS still exists.
Technically yes, but try actually acquiring it.
Where to buy
CustomersAmigaOS most often comes pre-installed on compatible hardware systems from online retailers or through a network of resellers worldwide. AmigaOS is also sold separately for all supported platforms including CyberStorm PPC or BlizzardPPC accelerators.

ok
i don't have a computer with a PowerPC CPU so i'm not gonna waste my money but like idk doesn't feel hard to acquire
there's probably pirated copies out there too
I could buy it, but I have nowhere to stick the disks they'd send me.
Get well soon.
