@Frankspin @lemonsqueezy at this point I couldn't recommend it to anyone.

@jakejackson__ It indeed looks very suspicious. Would've been nice to reach out myself before Gumroad sent this message.

@rikschennink Yep, I got one of those too and had to swap to Cc. If I hadn't triple checked, the email had all the hallmarks of a phishing scam.

@rikschennink Guessing they put you into the vendor process? So that you can answer 10,000 security questionnaire questions

@Aoakudotcom I just heard about it via a customer. Now looking for more information.

For me the series peaked with Dune, I couldn't put it down.
I liked Messiah but wasn't blown away. Curious to see if a more focussed re-read changes things.
Children and God Emperor I found okay, difficult to get through, maybe I'll re-read if my opinion of Messiah changes.

Re-reading Dune. Still blown away by the sheer scale of it. Incredible.

@levelsio can I modify autoexec.bat and config.sys to free up memory? what about booting with QEMM so I can play mortal kombat?

Small progress today on pieter (dot) com live now:
Got a full BIOS working, and it runs the basic MS-DOS commands like EDIT and FORMAT, and added an old CRT screen around it for effect
I tried to Format C: my drive and it literally does nuke itself 😂
Also added Jazz Jackrabbit for @pretzelhds, but the idea is not just old games, we wanna have a real PC running on my site with mIRC and Netscape Navigator being able to open pieter(dot)com within itself!
Update on networking:
It seems JS-DOS only support IPX networking, which is nice for multiplayer games, but we need TCP/IP networking for it, for now I will try to get:
- Netscape working
- put the Pieter(dot)com HTML in a file and open that as the start page
@levelsio@levelsio
I want to try enable networking in Windows 3.11 running inside JS-DOS on my site pieter.com today Extreme challenge but seems possible: - install WinSock - make VModem work with JS-DOS somehow (it does have networking so should work?) - then emulate a dial up modem Then we can use Netscape to open pieter.com within Windows 3.11 running in DOS in JS inside pieter.com I see people all the time build these retro Win or Mac layouts for their websites But why not just ACTUALLY run Windows on your site?

@yongfook It's so empowering to say nope to huge corporations.
Even more so if they then decide to buy anyway.

@rikschennink Looks awesome! Where is that?

@fullstackmiguel Spain, somewhere between Valencia and Alicante

@jasonleowsg @CleanShot That's what I thought too. But after buying it I find my self using more and more of it's features. E.g. I used to use another software for simple screen grab videos. Now it's all clean shot.
