My vintage dream PC contains the most advanced motherboard [in terms of ability to handle the highest processor speed of it's type as well as maximum RAM capability] that contains the most amount of 16-bit ISA slots but does not contain any PCI or other non ISA also. It does not even have any EISA or SCSI. Any one who posts cross-posting to 5 newsgroups, without setting follow-ups, deserves nothing more than a PLONK. -- [mail]: Chuck F (cbfalconer at maineline dot net) [page]: http://cbfalconer.home.att.net Try the download section. |

You want to be in Southern California because...??? I live in SoCal Does Switzerland have more lenient software piracy laws? Is that why you choose Switzerland? I associate Switzerland with high-technology telecommunications. I also associate it with the psychedelic tones I hear on the phone when dialing any number to Switzerland from American. In addition, I also like the error messages I would get from all the EMI/RFI that would invade the signals on the phone lines on the way to/from Switzerland and America. What's wrong with Windows 3.1? I like the visuals of Win 3.0 better. In addition, The Software Toolworks World Atlas Version 3.2 display "Soviet Union" in Win 3.0. In Win 3.1, it displays "USSR" |

The shortest wavelength of EM radiation the average human eye perceives as red and not orange. What are these wavelengths? I'm now daydreaming about aurora-like patterns of coherent light of those two wavelengths. Your out of your tree, asshole. Go play somewhere else...like the freeway...blind-folded....in the dark??? |

More like my vintage nightmare PC. Dammit! Windows is not, I repeat, NOT an OS. /BAH |

Win 3.0 was a desktop interface sitting on top of DOS. THAT windows was not an OS. |

Today, and for some time, it actually was/is an OS. Note that I'm not saying a thing about whether that's good or not. Or even if it's good or not. - Bill |

OSes: Windows 3.0 [not 3.0a, just 3.0] and the most advanced version of DOS fully compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 2. Sound Card: Most advanced version of SB16 ISA [all accessories -- such as speakers included] with Creative Music FM Synth but without any wavetable or sample-playback synthesis -- fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 3. A video card that handles both 16 and 256 color with the highest refresh rate and pixel-X-pixel resolution and pixel-per-inch resolution fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 3a. Most advanced monitor fully-compatible with the other softwares/ hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 4. NDW [Norton Desktop for Windows] with Sleeper [screensaver] and batchrun.exe "Norton Desktop (Utility Suite) for Windows 3.0", I believe. 5. Canyon.mid [midi file often present with Windows OSes] -- Windows 3.0 version if the song specifically sounds different in 3.0 6. Window Entertainment Pack [including the Idlewild screensaver] 7. Most advanced version of Creative Lab's SB16 FM MIDI kit fully- compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 8. The CD-ROM disk that contains what's described in the following link: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.t...7ec0bb21f6d19b 9. Three most advanced ISA-card modems of their type fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC for the following: A. The 1st modem is to be used similar to phone and. Perhaps to talk over the phone via the PC B. The 2nd modem is for dial-up internet access and is an MFSK-based ISA dial-up modem. Of course this assumes that MFSK-based modems would exist for internet access and be fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. If MFSK is not an option, then FSK is okay. Hoping for MFSK but prepared for FSK if MFSK is not possible. FSK = Frequency-Shift Keying MFSK = Multiple-Frequency-Shift-Keying. If MFSK is indeed existent and fully-compatible with the rest of my system, then I would prefer that it be the type of MFSK which uses the most bits-per-baud that is fully-compatible with the rest of my system. Even better if the remote PC that connects my PC to the internet also has the same characteristics as my dream PC and is located in Switzerland while my PC and I are in Southern California. Yup! Long Distance International Dial-Up Internet Access! C. The 3rd modem uses the European Deaf Telephone [EDT] protocol and can be used to communicate with the EDT devices in Switzerland. Of course, I'm assuming this even exists for PCs and is fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my system. 10. The most advanced Netscape-based browser the would be fully compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my PC. 11. "The Software Toolworks Multimedia Encyclopedia", Version 1.5, Grolier, Inc. (1992) CD-ROM disc. 12. Most advanced versions of internet languages [such as JavaScript and CSS – or available equivalents] fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. 13. Most advanced CD-ROM player fully-compatible with the other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC. Thanks Do not feed the troll |
