Interesting. V2_OS
does not support multitasking.
This our point of view on this: We will not change the architecture of
the kernel to allow it to multitask since this will affect the whole system
even when it is not multitasking and that's not the way me ment it.
V2_OS FAQ
It could be argued that MS-
DOS was the Fastest Proprietary 80x86 Based Operating System around
yet no one I know would use it anymore. Okay, besides being a 16-bit clone of
an 8-bit OS, it didn't allow multitasking either yet people went to great
lengths to include it.
TIP: at least make the operating system reentrant. It doesn't cost
that much, reduces bugs, and makes the addition of multitasking that much
easier.
It's beginning to look like that those who do not study the history of
MS-DOS are condemed to
reimpliment it—poorly.
And MS-DOS wasn't all
that great to begin with.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
