Post by: CP5670 on May 21, 2002, 01:09:44 am: Ah, the good old DOS days. :D Come to think of it, I cannot really ever remember having my old 80486 really mess up using that operating system, whereas we all know how often these things happen with Windows. :p

Bugger ;)

But... how many people use DOS for every-day gaming these days? Not many I'd wager...

That's not true. A pen and paper could be a hotbed for those damn viruses... And these ones don't just affect the computer...
I'm sticking to Linux :p

Paper... hmm, it might get burnt. :p

You'd have to get in the case to do that though. ;) I doubt many people here would do it on purpose. :D
