I dont find anything wrong with new technology.
There are only two things that I find annoying in the current
sceniero:
1)Once a new thing is developed, the previous one is concidered "useless".
This is natrual, but in the computer world this is happening way too
fast. If I bought a system, and, lets say, after 5 6 years I should
replace it, it may be ok. But every year? Its stupid. And even if you
dont want to replace it, you have to.
2)Most of the current developments seems to go on making the PC into
something weird it wasnt really designed to be the first place:
A user friendly game machine. Its kinda weird.
Other then those 2 details, I have no problem at all with new developments.
When I go to a store, I will too try to opt for the "newest system", if
I can afford it, anyway. Its kinda like buying a car. My only problem
is that instead of letting me hold into my car for several years, I have
to replace it every month. (Well, I dont.)
Regarding the original topic, I was just trying to think about the
(totally theoritical that will never exist) DOS, that would be
redesigned from scratch and allow things that the current DOS doesnt,
yet remain as easy to use yet versatile as the current one.
("no 640k barrier, multithreading, multitasking" you know, that
optimum DOS that would never exist, since nobody will bother to create.)
Its because most people view it as only an "OS for oldies" isntead
of a general specific OS, which is bullshit since DOS is running
simply great on my 350, and i've seen it running even better on even
better machines. I just wish there could be a brand that could exploit
the new machines even better.
