I still use a dos based system every single day. the firm has spent untold millions but the green screens still work better than most of the proposed replacements.

This is Like a DOS program anchored in a windows ...window.
there ARE things that can be done with the mouse, but you have to go to each line to change the value.....like....14[enter] then change it to 2295[enter] to put the warranty in. The first time you go to a page, it starts you at the top, and takes you to each field in succession until you reach the end..... It really goes very fast....I don't know that windows interface would be any better. also, it ONLY hears caps. THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS YELL WHEN I CHAT FROM WORK! there are several screens beyond this one where I put other info like buyers names, insurance etc.... but they look the same

Like DOS, but not: it's a terminal program, playing like it's an old-style terminal, and connecting to another system where the work is actually done.
This is an atrocity, and must eventually be replaced by a web interface for you IMO |

However, programs provide by Logitech permitting writing scripts so that mouse functions could be implemented into DOS programs. If the Logitech program or its script did not load properly, then mouse functions for that DOS program would stop working. |

They have a windows form based version that does exactly what that one does, just slower....and uglier. you can't change the screen color. I like a black screen, so I'm not blind when I look away.

A famous DOS based communication program was PCPlus (if I remember the name). I also wrote a few back then using assembly language. DOS programs will work in Windows. But are missing many functions that come standard in Windows based programs. Windows based programs will not work in DOS. Telnet programs were another way of interfacing with obsolete technology time share systems - before browsers were invented. |

On August 29, 1997, at 2:14 am Eastern time, Telnet became self aware. Oh, wait, that's Skynet. Nevermind.

She finally turned to me and said, "The machine won't slice anything thicker then 1/2 inch." I said, "well that's ok, why don't you just use a big knife." "Oh" she said, "We don't have any knives back here." "No knives in a deli?" I asked. "No" she said, "We are only trained on how to use the scales for weighing and the meat slicer, they don't teach us how to use a knife." |

We're lucky in our area to still have some great Mom&Pop groceries/butchers.

Woman Shaving Bikini Area While Driving
UPI is reporting that the Florida Highway Patrol said a two-vehicle crash in Cudjoe Key, Fla., was caused by a driver trying to shave her private parts.
Trooper Gary Dunick said the driver, identified as Megan Mariah Barnes, was attempting to shave her bikini area while her former husband was holding the wheel Tuesday when Barnes' car crashed into the back of a pickup truck, the Key West (Fla.) Citizen reported. "She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit," Dunick alleges. "If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have believed it." http://keysnews.com/node/21349 |

This bugs me. The filigree is touching.
That's like letting your peas touch your mashed potatoes. |
