Windows 10 launches most intrusive pop-up yet

[PsychoFish]

Geez, haven't thought of ARJ files in ages. I was lucky enough to have access to a CD-ROM drive relatively young, so I could at least have the CD as source, then dump on stiffies to get it home. Soonish, though, the Sound Blaster 32x drives were cheap enough that we could get one at home, and I got a CD jam packed with demo's of Quarentine, Descent, Rise of the Triad, Magic Carpet, Terminal Velocity, Keen, and loads of other awesome titles with joystick. I wore that disc out!

Oh my word! What a memory! I couldn't for the life of me remember the software's name - ARJ of course!

The only reason I ever remember ARJ is because I use Tar and BZ2 so often. Hell, let's see..

arj a -jm pirated_copy_of_doom.arj C:\games\doom\*.*

arj x pirated_copy_of_doom.arj D:\games\doom *.*

aah the memories

Wow, the flashbacks.. I think ARJ might've been the first software I had to use command line arguments with in Windows.. I vaguely remember trying to figure that out.

Switched to Win 10 early on and never looked back. Then again I might be a bit of a Windows fanboi at times...

Have 4 laptops on Win10, one on 8.1 and my own desktop ( + 2 others) on 7. Have a older twin tv tuner in there that , at the moment, doesn't play nicely with 10. Luckily the rollback work perfectly Will one day bite the bullet and transfer the tv tuner to one of the other Win7 desktops and reinstall mine clean. Have the Win10 iso for that.

So far very little issues with any of the Win10 machines (touch wood)

Impressive - I started off using pkzip and then just the awesomeness of ARJ came along. Used it a lot to share stuff over ICQ. I wish I could remember my account details; since I 've been one of the first 2000 to have ICQ. Used it last in 1993 I think.

I can't forget certain things, it's like a curse. But also some of ARJ's command line switches are the same as tar so it makes it easier to remember.

Bwahahahahaha sorry

it took him 8 years to upgrade from Pastel vs6 to 14.... He doesnt upgrade or spend money unless it breaks. Unfortunately DrPro works well in win 7 - even though it really shouldnt
But I know I am pushing my luck to make it work in anything higher

Make a clone of the hard drive. Put the original drive safely somewhere.
Do the upgrade and test.

If not work. Put original back. If works. #score

Did it to a pc here at work

Xpress vs14

I unfortunately cant upgrade without DrPro - its a programme we use to issue our plans with and the boss wont upgrade it ever

I never sign and return those transmittal slips from the program.

I never sign and return those transmittal slips from the program.

And then I have to chase you down and make you sign it. We normally dont bother keeping the slips, but currently we have a contractor that will blatantly lie about receiving drawings.

I upgraded to Windows 10 on my home machine as soon as it was possible. I then upgraded my old work machine but got a new work machine soon after which I also upgraded. And I upgraded my wife's machine to Windows 10. Had no problems whatsoever...

Actually I lie! I had one problem on my home machine where the time would just change randomly. It turned out to be an Asus utility that was causing it. Otherwise it has been smooth sailing.
