If you thought 98FE was an urban legend how did you account for all the pictures of 98-tan?



Finally found a disk image of Plan 9 that can actually boot in a VM...

@Bella: Well, I knew FE had to be real (Otherwise, why call the first version "Windows 98 Second Edition"?), but I had only seen FE once in my life, prior to yesterday, so I began to think I was imagining that one time

Dat Amethyst skin. <3

Chara is Ashe from League of Legends,btw.

Why do you have two uTorrent shortcuts?

[Pitkin]

In case one of them accidentally gets deleted, silly. xD

[NejinOniwa]

Because uT is just that good Incest.

This, my friends, is what we call "going off the deep end" with Virtualbox: Windows 2000, XP, and 7 together, with a Vista wallpaper

*laughs evily at the madness that he created*

I may have damaged the space-time continuum doing this, so if you meet your alternate universe gender-flipped counterpart, you know who to blame

[Bella]

I'm resisting the urge to post an OSception image (CTSS or Unix running in XP running on OSX)...

Although my Vista box is not setup yet, I figured I'd share the desktops of the boxes setup on 2k-tan the Desktop right now.

First off, Windows 2000; which I have lovingly named this box "2k-on-2k Mode". This is the one I use most often


Next up is Fedora 16, with the XFCE shell. I wish it could go widescreen, but I first have to remember what my root password it ^_^;;


Then, there's Windows NT 4.0, which runs nicely


Last but not least, Windows XP. There's an army of XP-tan O_O

[Bella]

Am I the only one with the weird wish that I could body-surf across that army of XP-tans? .__.;


IT'S COLOSSAL CAVE ADVENTURE-TIME!!!


Thanks to the Internet Archive, I found this fantastic emulated PDP-10 system running TOPS-10 with Colossal Cave Adventure (perhaps the first and greatest text-based adventure game ever) installed. This game is also very nostalgic for me - it was the first game I played the first time I interacted with an antique computer via telnet (the Wofford Witch, a public access PDP-8 system).

So, yeah, Adventure running on TOPS-10 running on the SIMH PDP-10 emulator running on Vista running on Snow Leopard (in seamless mode)...

it was the first game I played the first time I interacted with an antique computer via telnet.

Did you actually do that or are you channelling a dead programmer again?

I actually did it... here's a screenshot -

Cool.  And why is there no HyperTerminal client included with Vista?

[Bella]

I have no idea... I don't think my copy of XP Pro had HyperTerminal either.

PuTTY is a pretty good terminal client though.

Well, I decided to ditch the default XP theme for my setup in Virtualbox in favor of this:

Damn, the Royale Noir theme is sexy...
