Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Back in the late 00's there was an older instrument computer that booted directly to DOS. I was the only one that knew what that was and how to launch our control software (from the large floppys). Everyone else needed to have windows to computer.
I had a similar experience with a diagnostic machine at my high schools auto shop. That thing had just been sitting around for like a decade before I figured out how to get it going for the teacher. I had been using dos since before I can remember to play games on my dad's PC. I didn't understand a ton of it because he just gave us a notebook with the commands to type to start the game but I think starting with it so young really helped wire my brain for using computers because when I came back to it when I was older everything just clicked.
Oregon Trail and Maniac Mansion ftw!
