What computer/OS are you using?

[Nichi]

True. Build 1515 actually feels more usable than the other beta versions of 2000 I've used so far; still having a lot in common with NT 4.0 under the surface

[Chocofreak13 she/they]

considering how close it is to NT, i would imagine. it's like the other builds are 2k's rebellious teenage phase. xD

Another blue screen? Master Yi quadrakill while disconnected?
preposterous I say
~(@.o)~

i would imagine that if one could get their hands on the mac alphas/betas, they would be less than perfect too. ^^;

I wasn't talking about that. Nanami had another blue screen during a game of LoL and apparently while I was restarting, I killed 4 people when I wasn't controlling my character.


As for that topic, every Mac beta I've participated in, Including Lion, would've probably been fine as a stable release. I encountered some bugs of course, but nothing worse than Launchpad not updating between restarts.
I also participated in the Star Trek Online beta and know the definition of unstable, man that was awful.

[Chocofreak13 she/they]

ah, okay.

and that's pretty awesome. goes to show that Nanami kicks ass even when she falls on her face. -w-

*pictures nanami face down in the mud, her legs kicking wildly*


*cracks up*

So, doing further experimenting, here's what I learned about another beta of 2000:

Build 1729:
- Explorer looks exactly like it does on Windows 98
- Otherwise, not much different from 1671. Same problems apply

[Chocofreak13 she/they]

baby steps, i assume.

So guys, I just got one of these off eBay.

[Chocofreak13 she/they]

you gonna keep the OS native or are you gonna install something different?

[Red-Machine]

It's running 98, with a crapton of games apparently.  Only has a floppy drive, so I don't think I'll be changing it any time soon.

[Chocofreak13 she/they]

fair enough, and i find it a tad impressive that it has a floppy drive. since most netbooks don't have CD drives, it's cool to know that it has some method of data transfer. :3

[Red-Machine]

It's an external PCMCIA drive; so just like a netbook, really.

[Nichi]

Sounds cool, Red. I saw a Compaq laptop similar to that ages ago :3

So, I'm now downloading build 1877 of Windows NT 5.0, so expect a post talking about the differences soon :3

[Chocofreak13 she/they]

@pent: sounds cool. ^^
@red: ahhh. i kinda want an external cd or floppy drive, partially to say i own one, partially cause it could be useful. xD
