DOS ut des: The History of DOS

Ho iniziato un breve corso presso un Istituto Professionale Lecce and since it always starts from the history of computing, I came back the urge to take a dip in the past. I was reminded of the early '80s when the personal computer (PC launched by IBM) was a pipe dream for us kids to school or so. There was a drawing almost religious sect, who was crossing the difficulties of the Commodore VIC 20, C64, etc. ... before coming to a compatible PC, my baptism was an Olivetti PC1 Prodest in 1989 (1,000,000 paid to Lire). Yes, sometimes I thought back to those times when the computer was really a passion and achieve small successes also cost enormous sacrifices, there was a natural selection ... While surfing I found this

site, very nice Italian Computermuseum that the name suggests that it is a museum of the PC. What to say to me is moving to revise the image of the magazines of the time, the technical specifications, the characters that have made the history of ICT. Ok I recover ...

All this has a name, Retrocomputing and sooner or later, those who love the computer can not help but think about the origins. As the hardware without software is like a body without a soul, forgive this digression poetic ;-), I thought I'd go looking for something on the DOS, the old friend black screen with the prompt C:> . Well I found an interesting site Father's DOS the brilliant but unfortunate Tim Paterson (pictured) which is a very interesting history of DOS I took the liberty of translating into Italian. Mind you, just an almost literal translation, but it makes it a good idea of \u200b\u200bhow things really went. Nothing new if you've seen the beautiful film The Pirates of Silicon Valley of 1999 hours is practically unavailable in VHS to DVD (but if you have a look on p2p ...), but very nice as to tell the grandchildren! History of DOS

Translation: ".. but how do you upload a file?"

Spotting Scopes Military




It is also the title of a bella canzone di Raf, ma in questo post vorrei invece parlare di trashware cioè come facciamo morire giovani i nostri PC in nome di una folle corsa consumistica. In effetti capita a tutti di sentirsi arretrati se utilizziamo un computer con un PIII o un Sempron, ma guardandosi attorno si scopre che esistono letteralmente montagne di PC che sono condannati ad una obsolescenza tecnologica spesso non reale, o meglio commercialmente imposta. Si, perchè per fare girare i nuovi sistemi operativi spesso non basta aumentare la RAM , bisogna proprio cambiare il computer. Ma è sempre così, bisogna acquistare un nuovo computer solo per usare del software più recente? La risposta è NO, non solo perchè there is an alternative, but also because it must be countered by informed consumers, this way of squeeze.
A lthough there are in Italy on trashware to design interesting, which are groups of fans who considered obsolete PCs retrieve and save them from the landfill by installing free software, such as Linux. The reference site in Italy is Trash!
Italy and contains many interesting documents. If you want to hear debate on this issue, we mark this discussion list alternating periods of enthusiasm for a crushing disappointment for partecipanzione membership.
The topic certainly deserves attention, I read GOLEM material, historical group of Empoli drew up an interesting how-to that found at the site of Trash! Italy. I felt like I try, I hope to involve other friends ...

Growth Hormone Stimulant Comments

When was a mad rush love



Linux in 1995 I met in college. A friend had lent me a book on the Slackware distro and defiantly invited me to try.
not remember how many days I finally managed to install it, but I remember that I gave up soon after ... I was too immature! In the coming years I bought a few magazines here and there, but I decided to throw in the enterprise. At the end almost two years ago, after yet another crash of my laptop, the revelation ... I WANT TO LINUX ....
I knew I had to study hard, I had to start from scratch in my pseudo computer skills, but the idea of \u200b\u200bscorched earth and again I really liked. I began to understand what a distro (aka distribution for humans), which and how many there were, and the more I read, the more I felt small and insignificant. I felt also the distrust and the giggles of my "friends" who rejoiced, not so quietly, for my every failure. The first months were very hard, because I want to change distro every day in fear of having the wrong choice, and reading the reviews I did fascinate the new release that turns in an absurd pace. The CD and DVD magazines piled up, sometimes even without being able to watch them. I had fleeting contact with Mandrake, Suse, Vector Linux, Simply Mepis, but finally I found what I was looking for: UBUNTU
It is almost a year I happily with Ubuntu (recently updated to version Edgy) and I feel satisfied . Certainly not disdain to install some other distro like Puppy Linux, Fluxbuntu, PCLinuxOS, but this time on other PCs that have now filled my small studio at home ....
