they need to make an O.S that's called windows universe.
that will can run anything that has 95,98,XP vista to any thing that been up dated.

I'd stay away as far as I could.

"Backwards compatibility" is the one of the major problems windows is suffering from.

[GPSCartoonist]

I bet Sakura's Pc is pink and fuzzy and says I'm cute I'm very cute.

Backward compatibility is a good thing, if done right. My son works on that with IBM servers. They have to write software to make the old software run on the new hardware.

And I bet Sakura's computer isn't pink......... maybe soft and furry but not pink. (Sakura = goddess of moe. I know, I chatted with her about it.)

[GPSCartoonist]

She love cuttie pie things oldwrench, I bet her bedroom decored with soft cuddly things and she might have a cuddle muffin.

[Sakura]

Why should I ever decorate my bedroom with anything that will prevent me from sleeping?

My computer is neither pink, nor fluffy. It's a butt ugly middle tower which is too heavy for me to lift yet because I have never removed any defective hard disk, just added new ones Stuff like this doesn't even have a product picture on the inet...

*takes mental note to self: buy pink spray can tomorrow

Gee Sakura I thought your big on cute things you always saying how cute you are.
I wonder if she remenber when desk tops first came out, floppy disk drives
PCs have came a long way, The first desk top had towers and flat one and had 3 drives.
2floppy drive and one a hard plastick disic drive.
and than came the cd roms drives and finally the DVD that everything.
Oldwrench you remenber those old desk top right ?

[oldwrench]

Yes, I remember it well, in fact, I remember when computers took whole rooms. I remember the first hard drives with huge removable discs. I remember 5 1/4 inch floppys, CPM, Osborne "portables", and lots of other strange stuff. My first computer was a VIC 20, and yes, we had a desktop Gateway back in 1995.

When I was in school, we did our calculating with a slide rule........ I still have mine. Funny to think the SR71 Blackbird spy plane was designed using pencil, paper, and slide rules, they didn't have computers.

[Sakura]

Well GPS, I rarely say I'm cute simply because I'm not. I'm looking pretty average and depending on your taste maybe below. I have a cuteness addiction and call myself "Goddess of Cuteness" whenever I see fit but that doesn't imply me being cute. However, I do what I can like growing my hair as long as I can and using cute hair clips. Along with my... hmmm... petite size of less than 165 cm I can get my share of boyfriends. Sorry for shattering your imagination.

I've seen Windows 1.0 and a C-64 already. I guess Olray's C-64 and I share the same birthday don't we. I have also seen SNI's (Siemens Nixdorf's) computer museum. And I'd like to learn how to use an abacus.

Awwww, Sakura, did you ever think the Sakura inside is spiecal ?
Oldwrench I remenber I worked on put in Summie Drives in those first PCs.
I think back then it was all dail ups before DSL came in.
and remenber when I was grounds keeper I keep finding Towers in the trash
and still in good working order the had windows 95 and 98 O.S in them ,
But it was like finding a poor persacom , CHOBITS>>>
Sakura, remenber always it 's what inside you is what counts.
I'm sure Oldwrench and everyone agrees with that.
