It's all based on DOS...

| | Comments (2)

I actually had the following conversation today:

WINDHEAD: (Showing me a flimsy, black usb-mouse)
- Look! It's a mouse! It's got two buttons...

MACHEAD (ME): (Not at all impressed.)
- Err... That's nice... Apple has had a two-button, scrollwheel mouse on the market for a long time...

WINDHEAD:
- Like what, a little under a year!?

MACHEAD (ME):
- Yup. Besides, if you want to talk about mice, you should keep in mind that Apple was the first to through in a mouse, long before Microsoft ever knew what one was, at least...

SMART GUY:
- Ah, it's all based on dos, anyways..!

It's all based on dos?! What?! :D

First of all, Mac OS has never been anywhere close to ms-dos... It's fucking unix-based. That's why it doesn't fuck up like Windows does!

Second; how do you go from talking about computer-mice to talking about underlying OSes?!

And if you're going to talk about OSes; learn the difference between ms-dos and unix! And learn that nothing is based on ms-dos...

It was stolen by Microsoft and sold to IBM..!
