Problems Nokia E72 firmware version 051.018

Nokia is proving it to be a dumb company as days goes by. Its golden age is near to end. Shame..... Nokia shame....

 

Unable to run Age of Empires The Age of King game on Windows 10.

With windows 10 I cannot get AGE OF EMPIRES II to load or play?

 

Sweet memories..hell no!..present day users don't realise what we had to go through, or compared, how reliable modern computers are.

 

What - no punch cards?

 

Agreed. Some days though when working out a particularly obscure Windows problem I do kind of miss the days when you knew what pretty much every file on your computer was, where it was and what it did.




VS.

 

Yes remember this very well and some of the members who now are on about windows 10 should of been around in those times then they would of been grateful for how we used to had to do it

 

I'm willing to admit that Windows 10 is better than DOS.

 

Yes. Fond memories... *Cool

 

lol, install DOS from 4 floppies, install Windows from a dozen or so floppies, then install office from about 2 dozen or so floppies. Hook up your dial up modem, get the disks out for that. etc, etc, etc,

 

Yes remember that very well took most of day and evening just to install everything and shutting down and restarting. then trying to get connected to dial up and waiting for the slow connection

 

I came rather late to computers year 2000 to be exact first great adventure into the computing world with windows 98, All the BSOD with it was totally unbelievable.

The reassuring sound of the modem as it dialled into AOL and some of the software I downloaded, One stands out in particular Bit Magic a little program with a tv screen GUI that delivered all kinds of goodies every day, cartoons that kind of thing, Have searched in vain to get an archive of it, think they went out of business.

Certainly!*Smile

 

I can remember loading the OS on, I think it was an HP main frame, from a perforated tape on a spool. Then loading your program from cards you marked with a lead pensile. It was a programing exercise in Tech School on an old retired main frame. It was way outdated at the time but a fun trip down memory lane. Pun intended. *Smile

 

1987. . .a wonderful year. . .my first GUI computer, the Apple Mac (Mac Plus), no more command line everything you needed to see,or use was right there on the screen. . .*Party
