Quest for the Packard Bell - Chapter VIII (Post No. 21)

 Quest For The Packard Bell

Chapter VIII

A Filler Chapter As I've probably not made any effort to get that legacy hardware like I said I was planning on as of yet, if ever --- and: the real reason why Modern OS aren't the primary environment I want to do everything in --- even going so far as to just want to go to something so primitive as Windows for Workgroups 3.11/95/98.

  OK, so you probably were thinking I was going to talk about some other pointless thing, or how come I want to get a computer that way back in the day, the majority of the time in its life would've just been in use primarily for productivity duties, going on the Internet to go look up the origins of hot dogs IDK and, maybe if there was some time left over from doing that Internet stuffs & e-mail, perhaps dropping down to MS-DOS mode to play a game of Doom or Jazz Jackrabbit or Indycar Racing. Well, I technically may be talking about pointless things. Like how the lil' shits in the 2020s era kind of think kids from prior to when they would've been born, (About 2011 or 2013) they're dead and buried already. That they are from a more primitive time. Like they would've played with rocks and dirt or something instead of actual toys.

   Well, I ain't even over the hill yet. You want to find people over the hill? I think I may know at least one - perhaps one who remembers when the song was released by David Seville - the stage name for the original performer who would later be behind Alvin & The Chipmunks - Song in question being "The Witch Doctor," which came out about forty years prior to the version made by The Cartoons. 

    I guess this is probably why I'm not married and having stupid little snot nosed brats at 32 right now. I'm too stuck in the past and I'm unable to see anything bad anymore, (considering I don't go to the public school facilities much further than standing outside not being sus on the property since I don't want to enter the building because I believe that after having been inside a Public School Facility for 13 or so years out of my life --- After I've seen one, I've pretty much already seen each and every one of them all. There aren't any more left for me to see inside.) 

   Look, I don't really like the modern Internet, alright? I mean, sure it was bad when Adobe killed the Flash standard at the end of 2020 - the same year on which January 14th marked the end of support for Windows 7, and also when I was wanting to migrate up to Windows 10 - (Why I didn't do it sooner, I don't know to be telling the truth. I guess I was held back just by that much so much so that until the "Claymore" was built, my OS progression after Windows 7 was:) 

- Mac OS 9.2.1

- Windows 98 (On a computer mostly rebuilt out of scrap parts, likely First Edition which was a mistake, and I installed that OS on top of MS DOS 7.1) 

- After a bit, finally just use Windows 10 for (censored) sake.

- Windows 11.

   I mean, to be fair, not every "modern" OS environment which exists has an Internet browser. Well, not an option to load one by default anyway. Because: 

- FreeDOS (can load Arachne if you need an Internet Browser). 

- Batocera (Emulator OS so Internet Browsing isn't really applicable to the actual situation for what the OS is intended for.) 

- Lakka (Emulator OS similar to Batocera which like Batocera has no Internet Browsing capabilities - but is actually more based on Retroarch vs. Batocera.) 

   Of course, people who assume things about "BC" or 1985 BC or 1990 BC when people alive didn't know what a computer is, just proves that like certain people from the former independent republic of the United States of America called California that have quite severe intellectual challenges, because they literally have 0 IQ anyway in my mind - I suppose the TV they have in their house isn't a TV but rather a bookcase or something like that? They may be right about some people needing to touch grass. Not me though. I still hate Annapolis Valley Girls, because I was born hating Annapolis Valley Girls, I grew up hating Annapolis Valley Girls, and I shall die hating Annapolis Valley Girls.
