I think that's an insult to all the senior members here, whose OS can already do things windows (or linux) can't. How can we do things better if we are not aware of the current state of affairs?

Seriously, your argumention is making no sense at all. Might I suggest that you quit from this discussion before this results in a complete flamewar (with all consequences thereof)?

We can't (easily.) If there were no commercial/big OSes, we'd all be writing text adventure games for nineteenth generation VAXes in C++++++++++++ by now, instead of text/graphical OSes in asm or C/++ (or, in your case, Combuster, FreeBASIC :D)

So its OK to insult me (by saying my methods are caveman methods), but when i say stop kidding yourselfs, we can only use caveman methods, i am " Insult to all the senior members here".
That sucks as trying to divide and concor, stop try to put people down, because you do not agree with them.
Its say something about a forum when there are so many more modes than members and i have so many PM message from people that need help, but they do not like asking on the forum because they are all made to feel like little KIDS.

I'm not planning to find you the extent of your hypocricy, Dex. Also, please follow some ethics in discussions, since you just pretty much dropped to the level you had two years ago.

Thread locked.
