I'm still running multiple CNC/Industrial equipment with win3.1/98/xp. Only just retired one running Dos 6.2

holy crap, thanks for the memories! I remember bamboozle, and also, I think on Channel 4, the "Tea Time Quiz", where you had to answer a question and be the first to phone in the correct answer, I remember winning on a couple of occasions!

yet you argue against bigotry with our own bigotry?

bigotry: intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself.

seems you may be a sufferer too.....

but its fine for you to spread your prejudicial views of his religious beliefs? pot, kettle? And just because someone doesn't agree with your view doesn't instantly make then [x]Phobic, its quite possible to be against something without hating on it, im sure most people who hold views similar are not scared of or hold intense hatred to those in same sex relationships, just like i don't like mushrooms, doesn't mean Im a funghiphobic.

Get to know your local saw doctor, most of us are happy to give recommendations, tips and the like. We often have good quality secondhand tools for sale.

This is awesome! But, for me, totally unplayable! Being colourblind I just cannot differentiate the different shades of the lighter greens and the yellows. I so wish I could play this as it looks and feels amazing.

Im still running 3.1 on 4 machines at work (slightly related to OP, we sharpen the bandsaws!). The thing is that the company that makes the machines is well known for their extortionate prices, so for us to update is not feasible. We just installed newer machines for everything else so the crappy old 3.1 boxes run only what they must to keep the machines running. I would love to try setting up a newer pc to run these machines, but there is so much propriety hardware and software in there that I keep putting it off for another day!

So true, saved so much hunting time by using the satellite maps! Especially the nano's in the middle of cities etc!
