I think that it is MASSIVE now! I can't download it at all from their
site (7:00PM EST). Timeout city!
I'll wait until a few people have mirrored it (although possibly
against the strict license that was posted).
My computer keeps playing wave files that say "Mike! PLEASE download
OpenDOS now!!! Or I'll DELETE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! I mean it!!!!!!!"
I have to keep telling it, "Hal, it'll only be a few more days so
relax. I'll remove those brain tumor operating systems as soon as I
can, but you'll have to wait a few days. And if you're really good,
I'll let you email bomb Billy Willy with PC-PINE when we get
internetworking working in OpenDOS.". This is followed by a short
sigh from my PC-speaker, "Yes, master.".
