  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

    (You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)

I won't bother to type and cite these, five pick-up lines each for 10 types of enthusiasts (e.g. computers, astronomy, chemistry, Star Wars, etc.): https://www.wikihow.com/What-Are-Some-Nerdy-Pick-Up-Lines



bestlifeonline says, "Hilarious and silly [quick] jokes never go out of style. If your sense of humor tends to lean to the goofy side of things, don't be ashamed. Everyone loves a good crowdpleaser—that's why we call them that! So read on for [57] of our favorite groaner jokes, and don't forget to pass them on to your[...]friends."

That's what I'm doing: passing them on, because even nerds can laugh (or groan) at jokes which aren't necessarily recreation for nerds (I thought numbers 8 and 56 were tolerable, and 28 was nearly so. Maybe I'm developing a sort of sense for goofy humor; I smiled and laughed a little at #29 as I was scanning the list!
