Why would I play WOW? And why would it be in the basement? I've been a language freak for more than 30 years--- all I wanted was to try out a new entry in the arena. Particular since this seemed to be a relative of Forth, my third language after 'C'. I'm not the one who found it necessary to create an OS dependency; and even worse a dependency that didn't need to be there as your kindly supplied(see Joe's email) work-around suggests. Won't even begin to discuss the serious flaws in W2k's successors... I'm a developer; I try to avoid things that crash(I hate having to figure out if it's me or Microsoft!)
BTW, on a totally different subject, is "Starting FORTH" (mentioned on your website[nice design--- congrats!]) the autographed(by both Brodie and Moore), numbered text published by FORTH Inc.? If so, cool recommendation; I've treasured mine all these years. --hsm p.s. just to keep up the snarkism(I'm sorry, I'm weak--- can't resist being a wise ass), what were you doing 25 years ago when I was typing the assembler source code for Forth into a PDP-11/23? p.s.s. Joe thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a go at some point... On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 11:53 AM, Slava Pestov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Windows 2000 is 9 years old.
