Hello!

I have had to abandon my programs. Well I have lost them. As the story goes I turned on my laptop and corrupted the hard drive. I am quite sad since I had everything on there. Im so sorry that I couldn't release them. I will try to start them again but my os may not be released. I really do not want to recode my 47MB OS. Sorry guys. I could only get so much of my hard drive which was the 1st partion that had the windows on it. Sorry. I am not setting up to more partions.

47 MB??? That's HUGE.

Anyway, hard drive deaths are a b***h. On the bright side, you'll find you actually will do them better/more effecient the second time around.

47mb?! you know a computer has 2mb space right? o.O

maybe start using backups or GitHub from now on, that way you don't loose your data :)/>

I had to upgrade the config. The public release was only 1.5 MB. It had a media player… It could play a video. I made a java class to add pixels to the computer. I lost it all.

Yea, PearOS is about 300-400KB. Even Dropbox if your not keen on having it public.

But now I think about it, you should be backing your hard drive up anyway. Presuming you're on Windows there are plenty of backup suites, including one that is bundled with Windows (but it is shockingly terrible).

On the other hand, if you're on a Mac Time Machine is amazing. At school to reinstall OS X they simply format and install some image, so it's vital to use Time Machine.

Well, you live, you learn, I suppose. The same happened with me except with some unfinished simfiles.

Yeh I gave my computers unlimited in cc-emu too… although all 26 of my projects is still only 4mb, of which, CCTube (and all its .git) take up 2.7mb… meaning 25 projects is 1.3mb… thousands of lines, 1.3mb… so again, how was yours 47mb? o.O

Yeah I live in Adelaide too. I live in the north near Gawler. Anyway, I didn't rewrite DoS but I did write a console/shell.

It had over 300 files. Each file was quite big unless it was a lib. They where HUGE

This started out as attention-seeking and has since devolved. Locked.
