I saw a few 3000s kicking around, but they were few and far between. They were pretty impressive also..

I agree, its not nessary (the foul words) to the extent its being used. The conversations can be just as engaging without them.

Howdy, I was on the verge of writing something similiar.

Oh thats a bit surprising & disappointing if that has happened. I've been following a few of the fsxnet boards pretty closely for several months & have not noticed any queer/transphobic comments myself. Folks here are generally pretty good about this. Would you mind pointing out the problematic messages?
If you and mary4 didn't publicly post that you are that way, then no one would have known, or frankly given a crap about it.
Yeah, 99% of other messages in FSX net have no one swearing, yet this person's messages 99% of the time contain it.
For everyone else. I swear myself in real life, but not when around other people or interacting online. For starters it show's a lack of courtsey
i don't think i should have to! i think the problem is overanalyzing one harmless thing and then when pointed out with an actual harmful thing now everyone wants to hear what i have to say
this whole discussion is a bit ridiculous i think and i just want people to stop jumping at someone's throat because they're excited about retro hardware and used expletives to express themselves lol
Its sounding like a smokescreen for being called out over poor language choices.

someone mentioned they have a "fucking" 10mhz 206. I wasn't trying to jump down anyone's throat (and I don't really see how it would have appeared that way). I also don't see how that would be in any way interpreted as a transphobic comment or anything like that.
I'll discourage swearing for the sake of swearing here.

That's awesome, I've looked at mtcp a bit but I haven't been using it. The 286 from VCF SW sounds exciting! That was the recent VCF SW (2024)? How was it? I've never been to a vintage computing event, VCF SW looks like it would be pretty huge!
Mary mary quite contrary?lol
There's something odd going on. I see you replying to a message I'm yet
to see here.

then let me add my two cents: i picked up on it simply as a mannerism (a "typing quirk" so to speak if you're of the persuasion of a particular webcomic) and wasn't bothered about it at all. if we're going to complain about what others on fsxnet are saying i'd much rather complain about the queerphobia i've experienced in my very first week here!

it was FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!! :DD there was so much cool
stuff there!! i bought 2 286 machines from there! <3
I met many youtubers there and many people locally who
has computers!! it was HUGE too it has many machines
there and spanning like 2-4 buildings 2 buildings whas
for machines on tables alone i saw amigas and PC XT 286
and even silicon graphics machines and even 5 lisas!!
usagi electric was there!
It does get wearing after a while. If you're using it for effect on occasion well and good, but no need for excessive use.
I would also... except F*** is my favorite word...
Fork? Fortescue?? :P
Oh geez that's already two more 286 machines than I have and I am
JEALOUS!
That sounds wonderful. I knew it was big but that really does sound massive. Five Lisas in one place is something I for sure would not have expected! And you can't keep those Amiga demo people away from a gathering these days, they're everywhere! (and we love them) ;)

I am so jealous! It sounds like you had a great time!
Those XT 286 machines a super rare... I'd love to get hold of one, but
it would cost a small fortune & they don't exactly come up for sale
often - It was basically luck on my part that I managed to get hold of
an IBM 5160 complete with working green screen monitor from a local seller.
ill stop swearing. i am just excited about vintage computing. im sorry
Personally I like seeing someone get excited about vintage computing, especially when they have the good taste to realize how awesome 286 PCs are..
Though in saying that, I am eying up 386DX40 motherboard on ebay... I
did own a 386DX40 for quite a while growing up so I wouldn't mind giving it another spin for nostalgia's sake.
Probably wouldn't be on interested if I could get fastish 286 with
decent EMS support (i.e. with NEAT chipset) so I can do fun things with desqview.. but those don't appear often & seem to go for a small fortune on ebay when they do. That or get one of the very rare EMS boards that
can do full LIM 4.0 & backfill memory - also so I can do fun things with desqview.
If you and mary4 didn't publicly post that you are that way, then no
one would have known, or frankly given a crap about it.
(i never said anything about who mary4 is beside their typing
mannerisms)
i know we like to live in the past around these parts but don't ask
don't tell was repealed in 2011

Its rare I break out the swearing, usually something has to have gone catastrophically wrong, like I've stuck my foot in the lawn mower again. (Side note: I've never stuck my foot in the mower). Or something equally painful and depressing. Otherwise you devalue the use of the word
anyways.

You can be all excited until the sun comes up in the morning #-).yay! <#
We all get excited about our "reto" hobbies and computers. That is why we are here. I was just asking for the comminities sake that you refraim
from the swearing part.
system) there is new EMS boards being made by lo-tech
I suspect thats another bios bug. Maybe I should look for another
20Mhz 286 board.... or consider using a different bios.
Do you use desqview on you 286es? How do you have it setup?
Unless something has changed recently, the lo-tech EMS boards don't support backfill memory. Also my current 286 hates 8 bit cards, I
suspect thats another bios bug. Maybe I should look for another 20Mhz
286 board.... or consider using a different bios.
Do you use desqview on you 286es? How do you have it setup?i just use freedos 1.3 command.com
