What ever happened to computers ?
new2linux55:
Back in the day of the commadore 64s ...sinclare spectrems and up to the days of the amiga.......
Computer users were happy........there computers worked......they was no such thing as viruses or adaware no need for all the antivirus or firewalls or adaware programs which clog todays computers...
Sure those computers have aged.......old obsolete....
But look what we got today people.....sure we got superfast computers....... but we got a badly built os holding it down......
Is it legal to sell such a piece of software that is broken ?
Like if i bought something broken i bring it back to the store for a refund !
And how is it some older non microsoft computers run faster and do there work.......
While newer computers runing Microsoft OS is slow....crashes and there is thousends of viruses and nastys built for it ?
I see people buying high end computers people and they hook it up......install all this crap....install the crap that keeps the other crap from screwing up...then all they do is use there computers to play soladare and surf the net on a unstable and unsafe browser...
They want to design a website or paint.....so they have to upgrade the ram because the crappy OS there running is slowing the megafast computer down....in the first place and then they go out and buy a badly made program with full of bugs that they will be upgradeing for the rest of there lives....
So they fially upgrade there "new" computer to run all this crap.....there pockets are geting lighter...just to do things a old non m$ machine would have done better only a lot simpler.
What is with all this eye candy and super fast graphics ???????
If i want to game i would get a games console....
u install all the darn servise packs u want.servise packs that should never be and antivirus and adaware and firewalls......because all you are doing is patching up somthing that should have worked in the first place and even at that when u reset youre silly machines it will run slower its bill gates way in saying u never win !!!!
There must be something illegal about Microsoft !!
End this thread to the dead thread section if u want i just had some anger to spew.

I hate to break it to you but Amigas were buggy as hell. Don't you remember "left click to continue, right click to reboot?" Happened all the freaking time. :( I still regret giving my Amiga 600 away though. Those little kid's using it now had better be giving it the respect it deserves. :mad:

My idea of a perfect computer would be a Debian designed multi processor sparc box that was specifically set up to a: have all the peripherals you would want and b: have a kernel designed and optimized for that box. (ie the Debian guys released a kernel that was tailored for that box.) And also if Debian used GTK2 and some nice themes and a system administration GUI that could centralise control. Other than that Debian is as close as I have got to perfect with a computer. I love you Debian.

......i used a commadore 64 in my hay days.no matter howw much i pissed it off it never crashed...it was primitave but it worked.and there was no such thing as shuting it down it was just flick off the switch and it was a ok......i was only going back to that era.
then again how bad were amigas they compared to win me.. ?
I used to imagine as a kid how great computers of the future would be.....there problems would be gone......they would be faster......they will be no errors and they will be perfect.....looking at my primitive c64 dreaming up the wounders of how advanced it will all get...
then microsoft came along.... :(
