My interest to date in FreeDOS has been as part of a software bundle that I can put on older computers without Windows licenses (and sell them off on eBay).
eBay still has the last auction I did on its servers at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200004916192 I include lots of screen shots, mostly of games. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Auer To: freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 7:47 PM Subject: [Freedos-user] DOS PR question - what LOOKS fancy in DOS? Hi all, now that FreeDOS 1.0 is out, people show up and want to write fancy articles about it, sometimes with pics or even (podcasts...) with filmed material... The problem is: DOS does not look fancy, it just IS fancy :-). So... What could our PR department use for the fancy looks? Some first ideas and suggestions: OpenGEM, MPXPlay, HTMLHELP, DEFRAG, EDIT, Arachne? What else could be used? Got some nice screenshots like the BootCamp imac one? ;-) http://www.freedos.org/news/imac/ Unforgettable game titles are also okay, as long as it is a game which is freeware or shareware. Only in exceptional cases, abandonware would be okay as well. In a related question, what does look fancy about DOS development? Maybe the more interactive parts of our WWW stuff? SF CVS viewer, SF request tracker, Bugzilla, Wiki, FAQ, LSM / software list...? Suggestions welcome :-) Eric PS: We even made the covers of tech mags back in 2000: http://www.freedos.org/news/elektronik/ "ausgereiftes Beta..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
