Let's not lose sight of why this discussion has gotten
here. Someone without sufficient knowledge declared that
application software and a weak OS structure could cause a
CMOS date time clock to lose time. Obviously not. Someone
has represented 1990 IBM as a decent, respectable, and
innnovative company. Obviously not. OS/2 is a symptom of how
bad IBM had become.



Proof that the biggest dick isn't in my pants. Read the frigging posts
and quit being a jackass. If you really knew anyting about PC operating
systems, you would know that the RTC on the motherboard is ONLY used
upon a reboot, and that the OS does its OWN timekeeping. Punks like
you, who just got a PC like two years ago, think that Windows reads the
MB clock on every time slice, which only shows that all you are is a
troll, with no knowledge of how things work.

A whole generation gave pukes like you computers and technology that
your kind could never reproduce, and you don't even take the time to
understand it.

Let's not loose track of that fact that windows, being unable to do
REAL prememptive multitasking, is also incapable of keeping accurate
time, for that very reason. Try not to listen when cornheads make dopey
statements like "write a tight running program, and if you can switch
to another one while it is running, then it is pre-emptively
multitasking" for surely, stupider words were never spoken on Usenet,
and that is saying a whole lot.

Only morons make statements about OS/2 when they can barely spell it,
have never used it, and would not know a quality piece of software if
they fell over it. It takes a real windows loving douche bag to
proclaim OS/2 as technically inferior, and ever stupider people to not
know that NT was originally OS/2.

What it takes tho, is reading, and research, instead of Public
(government) TV as the means for the information.

Here are your replies, even before you write them:

"Listen ****head, I have been involved with computers for over forty
years, and was on the internet before it was the internet. I was there
when Gates cut his own umbilical cord and started typing on a keyboard
before he was even toilet trained. I worked for IBM when they screwed
up OS/2 because everyone knows that IBM was the stupidest, lamest,
worst company in the history of the world....." and on and on with the
same stupid, lame, moronic comments about how you are the most skilled
person in usenet.

Usenet sucks, and so do the people who seem to need it in order to find
any kind of self esteem and purpose in their lives. Try going outside,
and doing something useful with life, instead of just being a ding dong
all day with a keyboard. Sex can help, but not just with yourself.
