The one I got goes a bit different;
"The Purpose of This List:
Any discussions of older/obsolete/classic PC's,
low resource PC's, and DOS Internet."

OS/2 is intended for AT and above, both Linux and FreeBSD run on SURVPC, most people
here seem to agree that Windows in its various shapes is just a
DOS-program. There is also a Windowsversion suitable for each one of the above
mentioned PC's. Windows is used by most PC-users, it is very much on topic here.
We have not gone beyond the definition of the topics by discussing them here.

Who says games are not supposed to be in a GUI? Some are, some are not, as long as
they are fun to play, they are OK.

I think that "we" are very different, and I do not want anyone to be excluded from"us"
just because he or she mainly uses Windows.
