NOTE:  This is MY opinions, thoughts, etc.  Anything in this article may be
       completely wrong, and may kill you, and I'm not responsible...


  Acording to my thoughts, the ONLY good aspect of windows is multitasking, 
  but just think of how much more powerful a multitasking DOS would have been.
  If you want to get fancy, make a better DOSSHELL...keep it in textmode.


[31C some thoughts:

  1.[4C(memory)

  The way I figure it, is that let's say you're running windows with a 
  640x480x256 graphics mode.  Each time a new window pops up, it saves the 
  area below it.  Let's assume you maximized it (so it's the entire screen).
  640 * 480 = 307200  Thats 307,200 (307+ KBs) that windows has to some how
  store.  now, if you ask me, swapping to disk would be a better idea, or
  at least at the time, since memory was rare and expensive.  Let's say you  
  opened 50 windows... 15,360,000 (over 15MBs)???  Now let's look at the text
  mode version.  Let's assume it's in 80x25 textmode (note: each char takes 1 
  word (2 bytes) because it stores character & attribute)  80 * 25 * 2 = 4000.
  4000 bytes is just under 4KBs.  50 of these windows would make 200,000 or
  just under 200KBs...compared to 15MBs I think my point is made. (see #4
  about storage for that mem...it's probably in that swap file!)

  2.  [3C(compatability)

  If Win 3.x ran FROM DOS, why did they make DOS run from Win 95?  ...bad idea.
  In this age, most programmers are skilled at DOS programming.  For example 
  minipulating video modes, etc. will screw up while windows is running... WHY??  What the h*** did they do to make it like that?  ...and why?  As I hear, 
  DOS programs that are written to get the most out of your hardware simply 
  don't work under Windows... hmmm...  is it a plot against DOS programmers?
  The point is:  WHY ISN'T DOS & WINDOWS COMPATABLE????  What the f*** were
  they thinking?  Windows is like an operating system for dumb people, you
  know to get more people using them, but why would *I* want to use windows?
  
  3. [3C(mouse)

  Why use the mouse?  I can type WAY faster than I can grab ahold of this 
  obscure thing and "double click". 

  4.  [3C(uninstall)

  What could you possibly need a 20 meg permanent swap file for?  And why do 
  they hide it from you???  This just makes it so when you pull a "DELTREE 
  WINDOWS"  they get revenge by still hogging your hd space.  Why hide it?
  Why make it permanent???  Which brings me to my point...WHY ISN'T THERE
  AN "UNINSTALL" option?  I have seen an uninstaller for Windows sold in
  stores... it's logo: "The ONLY safe way to uninstall Windows" ...(what's
  that tell you?)

  5. [3C(2 mixed gripes about win95)

  Installing Windows 95?  ...well, why not reformat your hard drive well your
  at it? ...why? --because they don't like you.

  longfilenamesinwindows95?  no point...  as if you couldn't get enough
  filenames out of the "old" 12(11) characters... (again, this goes back to
  the compatability)

  6.    (extended chars)

  What is with the character set???  No block-type chars, or those line
  ones.. (°±²Û, etc)  PERFECT for screwing up Windows based terminals 
  with ANSI.

  7.[5C(games?)

  Why is it that great games for DOS require poor 486s, but the SAME type of
  game (no better) for Windows requires Pent 166s w/ 64Meg???


[28Cother thoughts:

 1.[5C(why multitask anyway?)

 If thou must multitask, get multiple computers.  If you are doing 2 things
 at once, do you often mess up?  ...do you go slower than if you did one and
 then the other?  ...YES, YES, YES!  The same holds true for multitasking
 (or at least the speed part)

 2.    (memory costs)

 I beleive that the reason memory is getting cheaper is because Miscrosoft
 made their programs suck up memory, and you need more memory to run them.
 Rather than realizing they suck, the general public will do(pay) anything
 for their easy to use clicky clicky user interface.  BUT no one could 
 really aford 64megs at over 250 bucks for 1 4meg simm...  So companies got
 together and lowered prices to make it so you CAN buy more mem. but it
 would still be cheaper to TOTALLY forget about those "special" programs...

 3.     (Windows for Dummies)

 Yes, you're right, ALL 100% microsoft apps ARE FOR DUMMIES... 

 4.     (new kind of windows...  yeah, right!)

 Ok, this is the '90s...  operating systems should be in a virtual reality
 envionment...  (I mean, I'd love to just walk up to a big window and jump 
 through the glass)  ...do you realize that if you have a VR OS like that,
 it would suck WAY MORE THAN WIN???  It's not for me......

[29Cother other thoughts
[24C(not concerning microsoft or wins)

 1.[3C(quicken?)

 If you need a program for your business, try quicken...  h**l no, if you need
 an app. for your use, PROGRAM IT YOURSELF.

 2.  [4C(borland)

 Ok, I can understand their release of TP7 for DOS have just 286 instructions
 for the inline asm, but take note: it's been well over 5 years since that
 release...  do they think EVERYONE switched to C++ or is it that DOS no
 longer exists?

 3.    (no, i don't care)

 Wondering why I am trashing a ton of big companies for your entertainment?
 ...it's fun!  Besides, maybe someday someone will hear my words and try
 to make a difference.

 4.      (demo scene..)

 The best demo group ever, the Future Crew, are too good for the public now...
 No more demos for us to see...  But tell me, what have they really done
 after they stopped making demos?  ...vowed to make a game at least 10 times?

 5.    (art scene..)

 Ok, different styles are good, but "oldschool" has to be my favorite... and
 when it comes to making fonts, "f***ing with the outline" may make it look
 better, but let's try something that really takes artistic talent..

 6.      (shareware?)

 The way I figure it, if you're going to release a "shareware" version, your
 program BETTER be the absolute BEST...  if there is even 1 a little better,
 forget about people ording the full ver. ...besides, if one person orders,
 realize that the whole country will have the full version...

 7.    (copyrights..)

 Ok, just to let you know...  a "c" in parentheses like: (c) does NOT mean
 anything at all.  It would NOT stand in court unless it had a complete circle
 around the c, or was accompanied by "Copyright" or "Copyr."...  

 8.[6C(my carreer)

 I'm going to be a comp. programmer when I "grow up"...  what do I need to
 learn Shackspear for...  (or spelling for that matter... the way I figure
 it, I can spell the biggest words I need: procedure, function, assembler,
 and implementation..)[4CAnd what about history?  Does it really repeat
 it's self...yes...and you CAN'T STOP IT...so forget it!

  Well, this concludes my pointless rambling, so pass my knowledge along!
