Saying the modern PC is not part of it's own legacy (for good or bad) is just plain wrong.
As this video shows :)

*edit* ok, he's use a virtual machine in the video linked. Rather see it done on the real deal...


Gawd, the guy talking on that video has got the worst Scottish accent I've ever heard, he must be from Edinburgh or just a weirdo... :D

(Hmmm... come to think of it, folk from Edinburgh are weirdo's :lol:)

Don't feed the BHF's gents, it just makes their wrists stronger. ;)

Edinburgs think they are posh scots. They don't realise no one in scotland thinks of them as scots at all!

Just googled BHF and the only thing it came up with was the "British Heart Foundation"... what you got against them and why do they need strong wrists to run a very nice wee charity... :)

@ Khephren

Not only that when you go into a chippy in Edinburgh they always ask you if you'd like "Salt & Sauce" on your fish supper, everybody knows it should be "Salt & Vinger"... ruddy Auld Reekie weirdo's... :D

A woman from Morningside (that's the posh part of Edinburgh) goes into the wee local corner shop that's just opened up...

She say to the shopkeeper...

Good morning my good man, where do you keep your pepper...

The shopkeeper replies over there beside the salt and other condiments...

The woman says...

Don't you think that's an odd place to keep pepper...

Not really... says the bemused shopkeeper... why...

Well... says the woman I would have thought you'd have kept the toilet pepper beside the toiletry products...

Boom... Boom... :D

No, the concept of shifting bits in the graphics doesn't make sense anymore.
Dunno, if you look well, fast dragging and scrolling on the pc 'flips' even with the most modern gfx cards.

I'd be interested in hearing your analysis of a few wars to see who you think are the winners there.

Oh snap. Hook, line and sinker.
