Mr Nerd

I must say, I am laughing at myself right now. I realized today that I am a nerd. There is no more arguing it. I have been tirelessly working on a computer pretty much since 3pm this afternoon. This is not terribly out of the norm.
I am actually writing this entry from the very computer I have been working on. The thing that makes me a complete and total nerd is that this computer is running MS-DOS 6.22. Why? Just because I felt like having a computer that ran DOS. I’m using the Arachne web browser for dos. Complete with 16 colour graphics.
The ultimate plan for this computer is to take my massive 2 gig drive and fill it up with all the games and dos programs of my youth. Smilie: :) The hardest part was getting this sucker to run on my network. Networking is DOS can be evil.
hehe.
So there you have it. I am a nerd because I spent 6 hours building a completely outdated computer, just for fun.

If you have any old favorite DOS programs you think I should run, please let me know. Smilie: :) So far all I have is Scorched Earth.

  1. If you have a CDRom and you leave me an email I can bring home (or make a copy) of a disk with tonnes of old games. They are all from floppies. I’d have to look for the disk but there are a lot of great Apogee games on it.
