Windows XP finally, really, truly, is dead ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

I had Microsoft BASIC on my XP Pro computer. I still have a 120Gb SSD with Win XP Pro on it. I keep it because of all the BASIC special purpose software I wrote back then. I found out that Win 7 and Win 10 will not run either the BASIC interpreter or the .exe files that are created. But, guess what. Linux Mint Cinnamon and DOSBOX to the rescue. All the old software runs and compiles with DOSBOX. I did have to put all of the lib files in a single folder with the qbx.exe file. But it all works great. Long Live Linux.
