Extend your RAM using RAM Doubler!

Then extend your disk space using DoubleSpace/DriveSpace!

Just to be sure install Stacker (from STAC electronics) too

I did that. It worked, until it didn't, and then I learned how to format my 340MB HDD and re-install DOS 6.22. Fun times!

I’m thrilled to share how incredible it is to see such seamless, bidirectional synergy in action! It’s truly a testament to the power of innovation when everything aligns perfectly. #Innovation #Efficiency #Synergy #GrowthMindset

Ye, having experienced the "joys" of rewriteable CDs, I completely skipped the DVD RWs, expecting more of the same. Guess it wasn't, but then again, thumb drives became a thing.

I'm curious why do you think that a half-assed undercooked invasion at Israel's beck and call is the only possible solution to this issue when we have ample historical evidence that invading Middle East literally never worked?

Haven't used LibreSprite but Aseprite, from which it forked, has been an enormous boon to me, for pixel arting it definitely fits my habits and abilities much better than anything else I tried (GIMP, Krita, GrafX2, actual DPaint, Digipaint...).


That's a really weird claim about Ukraine, which the US leadership would love to sweep under the rug, leave alone to be taken apart, except for the bad optics - so they just drag their feet forever.


> Spore is well acclaimed

And yet it also effectively ended Will Wright's career. Rave press reviews are not a good indicator of anything, really.


Tbf Spore's acclaim comes with the caveat that it completely failed to live up to years of pre-release hype. Much of the goodwill it's garnered since, which is reflected in review scores, only came after the storm of controversy over Spore not being "the ultimate simulator which would mark the 'end of history' for gaming" died down.

And you wouldn't really have any idea this was the case if you weren't there when it happened.


Meanwhile, the Amiga had the Boing demo in 1984, months before the system was actually sold. Smoothly liding screens and multitasking, baby.

Also, stereo sound and nice visuals but that's not the point here.


That "Smoke on the Water" MIDI tune playing through speakers at the computer shop... I cannot explain how amazing that was.



I was kind of pissed that my parents sponsored getting a 386SX with Windows 3.1 alongside DR-DOS 5, instead of an Amiga, as everyone else on my group, in hindsight they bet on the right system.

To note, the hardware required to get OS/2 running would have added 1 000 euro more in today's money.

A couple of years later Comodore was gone and the history has been racounted endless times.

Still we don't give up keeping it alive somehow.

Wasn't that taskbar/windows thing just a toggle in official taskbar settings?


See https://superuser.com/questions/559782/windows-7-taskbar-nev....

There is a difference between grouping and combining, and 7TT provided many more options.


I recall that the official setting was everything grouped or everything ungrouped. What GP is referring to is probably the ability to break out a single window from a group.


I have seen it be utterly wrong so many times recently I'm considering permanently hiding it. For instance, googling for "Amiga twin stick games" it listed a number of old, top-down, very much single axis games like Alien Breed as examples.
