DOS ain't dead

"C" For Systems Work Is ... (Announce)

posted by Jack, 17.10.2007, 13:13

I absolutely agree with Lucho. "C" for systems work is the PITS!!

One of my associates once ran 8 partitions, including both an IP and Novell
"stack"(as he called them), on an 8-Megabyte 80386. Not a "Ball of Fire",
but it got the job done. How did he do this?? Using DOS and "Desqview".
And "When was that", you ask?? 1988, almost TWENTY YEARS AGO!!

But, it made-no-money for "Chairman Gates", who even THEN had 1500 "Clowns"
working on what came to be known as Windows/NT, now called "Vista", and the
reason for everyone's "Mad Rush" to get quad-processors and 1-GB of memory!
What language does Windows use?? "C", God HELP us all!!

"C", quad-processors, and 1-GB of memory, What A JOKE!! They never really
figured-out how to use ONE processor and maybe 32-MB of memory efficiently,
and NOW we must all "dash out" to be SOLD DOWN-THE-RIVER by Intel and Gates
AGAIN??? "Get REAL, People"!!!

If there are still "doubters" about the power of assembly-language, perhaps
the next UIDE, for which "I have a plan", may make "believers" of them. A
"hint" about it: Same features/capabilities, 3.5K max. HMA, and 1728 bytes
of upper-memory, that is ALL! Johnson and Lucho already have its "model".

And I do NOT consider it at-ALL "dishonorable" to continue using V5.1 MASM,
which has been in my possession for 17 years!!!
