I originally wrote this program in BASIC circa 1980.

Circa 1980, _everyone_ learning BASIC wrote that program.

But Bullis is sure he was the first and had it stolen by Radio Shack who
gave his coding away to all the others. The date has changed over time with
Bullis claiming early to mid 70's at various times. Here is the first claim
by his very first sockpuppet, the one that hung out in the kiddy pr0n
groups:

Both of you are wise ass know it alls.
If someone says somethng you don't agree with, they get their ass chewed out
for it.

What the heck does DOS stand for anyway? Dumb Old SHit?

It stands for Disk Operating System.
Windows can't run without it.
Nor can a ton of other secondary level operating systems.

I've been messing around with computers ever since they came out in the home
market thanks to Radio Shack.
You know how they get the stuff to bounce around on the screen?
I wrote the original program for it jackass.
But dumbass me didn't know nothin' about copyright back then.
Or how it applied to computers.
What happened with it was this, a salesman from Tandy was in the store one
day while I was working on the program and he saw me playing around with it.
The next month that same damn program, with a few minor changes, was in the
monthly magazine they put out.
I've been kickin' my ass ever since that.
I've learned how to program in DOS, Basic, QBasic, Cobol, Fortran, Visual
Basic and some C++. Now I'm slowly learning HTML.
Most of what I know about computers has come from experience. The best
teacher there is.
Like you, I have learned quite a few things here myself.
I sure as hell don't respond to something I know nothing about just to
respond. Like you do sometimes.
You may have been in this ng longer than I have, but that still don't make
you king of the hill.


I may not respond to your comments because I feel it's totally useless to
even try.

Next time I respond to a question, either add something constructive to it
or keep your big mouth shut.
