Man, this is making me want to code a batch file and play Nibbles. Thanks for the memories! 🙂

Thanks for the awesome post! :-)FreeDOS has always been more than a hobby for me. With FreeDOS, I found something that not only scratched a personal itch (Microsoft was "taking away" MS-DOS) but something that was extremely interesting and engaging, as well.But that made for some "interesting" social engagements, as Steph points out in her post. It's true; I would bring my laptop to parties, and spend most of the evening coding updates to various FreeDOS utilities, or contributing to the next FreeDOS distribution. Always managed to have fun, though!I'm stepping away from FreeDOS so I can focus on other things, like a Master's degree. This has been a very long transition, which is a good thing. Others had the time they needed to become comfortable in the roles I held for so long. I announced my future departure in February, and it became official in May. That said, it's late June and I'm still doing a few things to help out. Eventually I'll have to peel myself away.

Wonderfully touching. Like I said at Greg's, geek envy.To close the circle and hopefully increase how important Google sees this as news, I posted here: http://www.lousycanuck.ca/?p=1425
