who the f*** needs a manual with windows. and of course it was oem. And, it did in fact come with a "manual". Getting started with windows xp...this is the desktop. at that point i closed it. The manual isn't worth $60, trust me, its microsoft. :lol:

Hmm,. I might have to try the OEM.. I'm on a tight budget already,. :lol:

:roll: :wink:

or you could get home edition which is only 90....

[Rattrapmax6]

No, I prefer XP Pro at least.... :wink:

ok in that case I would suggest the OEM. I don't think the manual is worth $60....

Or you could use Linux and save lot's of money =P

[Rattrapmax6]

Maybe when there is a FB Ide for linux,... Sorry, but I like F5 too much....

I will someday get a double boot... :wink:

Well just use gedit to edit the bas file then simultaneously have
a console window up cd'ed to the bas dir.

Then, instead of pressing F5 the first time type in the console:
fbc file.bas[enter]
./file[enter]

The following times you "press F5" you instead do in the console:
[up][up][enter]
[up][up][enter]

It isn't that much harder

Yeah, you'd get used to it eventually. In fact, I usually just open up Notepad in Windows XP (if I'm using Windows) to program in C++ or FB code. I already have the directories for gcc/g++ and fbc added to my PATH environment variable, so I just cd to the proper directory and then type a suitable line to compile. :-)

I have Dev-C++ and I only use that when I get tired of seeing the console's font with billions of errors (it's inevitable at some point) that scroll off-screen. Good thing XP has a scrollbar. :lol:
