    It would be funny. And let's not forgoet the startup sound should be a shotgun. :laugh:

    :laugh: And shutdown sound would be squealing tires fading off into the distance, heck, might as well add some more shotgun blasts too. :)

        Hello Just crossed my mind! What would be your imagination of the perfect, I mean really perfect OS? Anything in your imagination!! I thought of it as a talking person like simulation, with real AI, and learning capabilities!! Yet when you think like that, you start asking, where would my files go?? How would I write a program for that OS?? Also, comes to me what happens in some movies like Matrix, iRobot, etc.. where AI begins to fight man!! Anyway, maybe I was drinking too much coffee tonight;P So? Any ideas?

        Regards:rose:

        Something that does what you think, not tell it to do.

            Doesn't have to be, but I don't think the strar trek stuff is the best example of a good GUI either (keep in mind I haven't watched it in years).

                          I'd rather not have my OS second guess me because it thinks it's smart. I don't want to have to "retrain" it just because I decide to up and change my work habits, etc. I'd just rather it do what I tell it to do. With that being said, my perfect OS would have to be a RTOS, preemptive, fast, look nice, work better, cure cancer, eat strawberries, and have a locale that's set to fluent redneck.

                          I could not work with an OS which ate strawberries.
