    I want to apologize for the delay on my end. I have been fighting the evil demons of technology for a few days trying to get the files up. Turns out, there is a specific subset of Infernal Lord that locks a file size just a little bit too big to upload it. I had uncovered an ancient voodoo ritual to banish the offending spirit. It including sacrificing a whole chicken (fortunately, a KFC bucket works in a pinch). Just as I was about to enact the ritual (which would have probably taken the last shred of my sanity with it). Pedro and Henry stepped in with their near-deific tech powers and incanted a strange spell (I swear, the magic words were “oh, you just wanted to do this?”) and saved me.

    I am going back to play with my Bouncy ball tied to a paddle…much more my speed.

    Back in the mid 1980s my best friend tried to explain how MS-DOS worked. I listened to him for a few minutes as my eyes slowly glazed over. I said then and I say now that stuff is a form of magic, evil magic at that. \":twisted:\" Mage the Awakening had it right when they said that gremlin basically live in your computer. \":shock:\"

    Seriously though thanks to everyone for their hard work on this.

    Back in the mid 1980s my best friend tried to explain how MS-DOS worked. I listened to him for a few minutes as my eyes slowly glazed over.

    Explaining MS-DOS is simple. It was a drunken grad student’s weekend project (they procrastinated) to implement Unix clean-room style (seriously, it seems like DOS half-implemented a bunch of Unix and made changes for absolutely no reason and disallowed things just because it wasn’t easy to implement). Yes, I know DOS really came from CPM (which I don’t know much about). We would all have much better computers/software now if Unix had been used instead of DOS as the basis for PC OS (there’s a reason why my next laptop will be a Mac (I haven’t bought a new personal laptop since before Mac was Unix-based)).

    Back to Arcanis, thanks all for uploading the modules.

    I may be wrong on this, but as I understand it the only reason we got stuck with DOS is because Bill Gates was able to sell IBM on using it as their operating system back in the day.
