    R2-45: 2 rounds in your head with a .45 - one to kill you, one to make sure you're dead.

    Although there is a rather LARGE movement within Christianity (New Apostolic Reformation) that greatly resembles Scientrollogy, Scientrollogy is pretty much universally evil, where with Christianity it's just a few splinter sects that get that way. (Generally these Christian cults use OSAS, or Once Saved Always Saved, along with some form of Calvinistic predestination doctrine to claim that they are the Elect, and therefore saved, and being saved they can do whatever the fuck they want and remain saved, including rape, murder and kidnapping; also seen is a very Machiavellian approach to recruiting.)

  11. Re:You already know where to go for disks.... on Getting a Classic PC Working After 25 Years? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I've used a couple models of Epson Equity. The custom DOS version 3.2 on the XT model (Equity I) is easy to find online, but there's really nothing special about it. The AT model (Equity III) had DOS 4.01 and it was a generic version.

    MS-DOS 3.3 is probably the easiest to find and is the ideal version for an XT-class system. A full 3.3 will have GW-BASIC on disk 2.

    TOS sucked because MS-DOG sucked. TOS was very much an MS-DOS clone (in fact you could almost say it's essentially a 68000 version of DR DOS).

    Yep, I used PAWS (I'd like to find .dsks for that!)

    I'd like to find a bunch of MECC and TLC software that's not up on Asimov too. I used to use Word Wizard all the time, and I had a copy of CNYICN's version of Elementary vol.6 (I think it was - the one with OREGON). And I still can't find Juggles' Rainbow (which I even had, for a while, in its IBM port too - IBM called it "Juggles' Butterfly").

    I actually prefer to refer to myself as "handicapped" rather than "disabled" - since handicap suggests a slight limitation, disabled suggests a total incapacitation.
