Comment Simple stuff (Score 1) 366

I got tired of reading everyone's responses because I remember several instances where a simple line of missing code would cause havoc on anyone's computer back when we moved up from Commodore 64s. The not so obvious line of MOUSEINDOSBOX that would be missing would cause the mouse to not work back before DOS was loaded separately from Windows. Then there's the one when CD's came out that caused the CD from staying closed. Now I'm not a computer programmer by any means, but when Windows 98 became passe I gave up on trying to keep track on every file on my computer. Yes, I was one of those who would print out every file on my computer so that when I would install something new, I would know if something went wrong or not. There are all sorts of "simple" programs out there than can just be a nuisance on one's computer. Do you remember the one that would log you off if you were clicking your mouse too fast? The pop up stuff is a classic that most of us remember when the internet came about. The multiple browsers opening while you would be pressing on ALT+F4 consistently. That was a pain. Good luck with it.
