Intro |
This was actually written somewhat before the release (escape? kicking out the door?) of 'Doze'95. Updating it to suit is left as an exercise to the student. |
Always Look on the Bright Side of DrOsS
[ There I was, waiting on DrOsS's same-day service and feeling all hung
up to dry, when the following thoughts stole into my head: ]
Cheer up, MaJoC; you know what they say ...
MeSsy-DrOsS is bad
It can really make you mad
The Pentium can make you swear and curse
When you chew on Intel's gristle
Don't grumble, make it whistle
And end up getting back at them in verse
And ...
Always look at the bright side of DrOsS [ whistle ]
Always look at the bright side of DrOsS [ whistle ]
They'll tell you that it's quick
With sixty-four-bit tricks
But back in Real Mode it's an oh-eight-eight
Whose single-tasking trance
Will give you every chance
To send out for a pizza while you wait
So ...
Always look at the bright side of DrOsS [ whistle ]
Always look at the bright side of DrOsS [ whistle ]
Its floating point is shit
When you find that it
Thinks zero equals two-five-five; it's true
That Intel say they'll swap
Each crucial megaflop
But strangely that'll not apply to you
So ...
Always look on the bright side of bugs [ whistle ]
As your spreadsheet pegs you up by the lugs [ whistle ]
Come on, MaJoC, cheer up ...
Worse things happen in C, y'know ...
I mean, what have you got to lose?
You hack up code from nothing,
the end result is nothing;
what have you lost? --- nothing!
[ Fortunately, at this point, I got my prompt back. ]
