[dma1965]

I made Slackware Linux! I am considered brightest among my peers, but often mistaken as insane.

Funny...this is often what I am told. :devilboy:

[Jereboam]

HP-UX...

Not sure if that is good or bad....

how'd i end up with os2 warp

You are - Windows Mobile 2003 - Full featured but often misses appointments :D

Not really I was Slackware Linux as well :)

[James Fee]

WinXP here... I'm such a loser....

[marlof]

http://www.bbspot.com/Images/News_Features/2003/01/os_quiz/redhat.jpg

I scared me. Man. I installed Linux once, and it scared the living daylights out of me. Why can't I be Mac OS X? I mean, I'm fashionable and clever despite being a bit transparent. ;)

[gorkon280]

I am PalmOS.

Now how did this happen??? I guess I just hate myself then! :D

EDIT: Retested and now I am Debian....whew

[yawanag]

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm HP-UX. The part about few people understanding me is right on target!

[JustinGTP]

I'm HP-UX.

Ha ha - never even heard of it.

[dma1965]

You are - Windows Mobile 2003 - Full featured but often misses appointments :D

ROFL....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

[kosmicki]

I'm an OS i've never used or seen. Amiga. And whats with all the WinME hate? I happen to like it. (My copy was stable, crashed maybe once a week due to some stupid program.)

Now on XP Pro, so much better than 9x.

[Don Sorcinelli]

HP-UX. Scary - I haven't had to touch this OS in years now. I had practically forgotten about it.

&lt;sigh>
I was hoping for Tablet PC 2005 or at least XP SP2; state of the art and bulletproof.

I demand a recount!
Besides, I don't need therapy; I drive *others* to need it. :-p

[Jacob]

I was Palm OS... I have been shamed.

Is it just me or are all the pictures people are posting not loading? :?

I can't see a single one of them. They all show up as those stupid red X's.

I'll have to check it out when I get home. :D

Your filter at work is junk, then. :( That's why the images are appearing as broken. BBspot is a geeky Onion-esque site.

Agreed.....you're filtering software @ work appears to be coded by Stalin.

Janak....he should at least be seeing mine (and perhaps one or two others), as I saved my resulting JPG to my local HD, and then uploaded to the Thoughts subscriber media storage. Right-click the picture in my first post in this thread and look at its properties to verify. Why would an image from PPC Thoughts get blocked (unless Thoughts Media has started that NEW website :wink: )

Just as I suspected :lol: :wink:

HP-UX is HP's implementation of UNIX. Still used in their UNIX platform solutions. Like DEC UNIX and others, solid but highly proprietary.

Which OS is OS2-Warp's backstabbing step-brother?


Windows 95 was OS/2's backstabbing step-brother. OS/2 was originally a developed by IBM with MS. But like always, MS wanted full controle, so they created there own system with the know how of OS/2 project.

Atleased that's what i remember from the afair ...

I still have my OS/2 box around here somewhere ;)

[powder2000]

OK, I'm really scared now. Palm OS, WTF, I have used this a little and didn't like it. I think I need to take the quiz over!

How can you have a Palm option without a WinCE one? It's blasphemy!

Mine came up as:

No, kidding, it came up as OS X, which I've never used, but I've used FreeBSD which is at it's core...

(Compaq stated when I returned my Pocket PC under warrenty for a bad screen, that "The unit is NOT designed to go in your Pocket, and that will void the warrenty." - I said it had a strange name if it wasn't intended to go in my pocket...)

[Cybrid]

I came up as apple dos 3.1
Is that a good thing? :?

[MikeInDallas]

Charge for it? Never crossed my mind. Thanks for the idea! :huh:

Actually, I've been rather non-profit as I move from being a PC developer (13 years) to WinCE (hopefully). I still need to wrap up and distribute my Open Source YactCE update, based on a game written by Mark Gamber back in 1997 for CE v1.0 devices. It'll run on CE 2.0 and up. Anybody who emails me with a request for it can have it until I get the docs and stuff completed. Just tell me the platform (hpc, hpc pro, hpc 2000, palm size, or pocketPC) and the processor, and whether the device has > 4K colors or not.
