Doesn't that sound a bit strange? "See DOS. See DOS run. Run DOS !!!run!!! :huh: Wouldn't like "See DOS. See DOS run. Run DOS." be better?
"Long before there was ultra-super-duper-128-bit-polygon-video-capture, hardware hype, wEiRd TyPe, pointless game ratings, E3, SCREAMING GUYS in ads, Virtual Reality, cliches like "in your face" and "it's the ultimate", 360 degree roto-scope-rhetoric from self righteous reviewers, CD-this, 3-D that, multi-million-dollar TV commercials tainted with TOILET humor...

...there was fun."

^Spot, not Billy.

I believe it's from "Dick & Jane", a children's primer (teaching them to read).

It used to be C:\DOS. C:\DOS\Run\. Run DOS, run! But for some weird reason Emmzee decided to change it to "see DOS." (thus totally destroying any humor in the pun) Don't ask me why...

Actually Emmzee did-but he changed it for some reason when we moved to phpBB last year.

Yes, but now it has the implied irony of being a DOS prompt instead of just a Dick and Jane book.

Wow... I could understand TD being so ignorant-but you actually got a ninth grade education before "home school" so I would expect you to know.

FWIW, they're the makers of *very* bad K5 readers. "See Spot. See spot run. Run, Spot, run!!!" is the very first one.

No, I've never heard of a book called "Penis and Pain". Have you ever heard of "How to kill people with names that resemble odors"?

Anyway, I thought it always had the DOS prompt on it. I never payed any attention to the logo in the first place..
