Endless Paradigm

heres someone elses picture. it looks just like this on my machine

theres a terminal and media player in this thing, apparently.. http://www.haiku-os.org/slideshows/haiku-tour

i don't really like it...

but that's probably because i havent used it extensively... again, this is just what i gathered from a total of about 5 minutes in the system...

needs mroe mesages like ...

If a packet hits a pocket
on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted
at a very last resort,

and the access of the memory
makes your floppy disk abort.
Then the socket packet pocket
has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item
followed by a dash,
and the double-clicking icon
puts your window in the trash;

and your data is corrupted
cause the index doesn't hash,
then the situation's hopeless
and your system's gonna crash.

If the label on the cable
at your house,
says the network is connected to
the button on your mouse,

but your packets want to
tunnel to another protocol,
that's repeatedly rejected
by the printer down the hall,

and your screen is all distorted
by the side effects of gauss,
so your icons in the window
are as wavy as a souse;

then you may as well reboot
and go out with a bang,
cause sure as I'm a poet,
the sucker's gonna hang !

When the copy of your floppy's
getting sloppy in the disc
and the microcode instructions
cause unnecessary risk,

then you'll have to flash the memory
and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer
and be sure to tell your Mom!

but if you RAM'd your ROM, and then turned off your computer, then youd lose everything. and yeah, beOS was pretty beast back in the day. that was a bit before my time though...

But BeOS was always around, so its not really a new one, just an upgrade of an old one...

Ohh...and you forgot Mac's main purpose. To make new age 'artists' feel elitist towards normal people despite knowing nothing

Disclaimer: Mac usrrs, i do not hold anything against you, this is a generalisation which im sure doesnt apply to you. By reading the above post, you agree not to flame me to death

I actually agree with you. And I type that while using an iMac.
I really don't like macs. and I still wonder why my school switched every PC to a mac.

because someone told them that macs were better, and they mistakenly thought that person had a brain

They probably just got themselves into a discount deal with Apple.

yeah probably

Our uni is mostly PCs, some Macs (but way not as many as PCs) and some Linux (Kubuntu, only in the IT block computer labs)
