Mum tries out MikeOS 4.4 (2013)

We have tried out heaps of operating systems you are meant to try out but none that you're not. MikeOS is not made for daily use and instead has been created by Mike Saunders with the intention of developing a basic but well documented operating system for the purpose of teaching people how to program in assembly. It may not be for daily use but can Diana actually use it at all? Let's find out!

Tasks Given:
- What time is it?
- Find a program used to write a text file
- Calculate 12.6 x 84.2
- Play the Mary had a little lamb tune
- Shoot a Mini, Standard, Power and Fire laser while playing Cosmic Flight

The mother in this video uses Windows XP (2001) as her main OS dual booted with Elementary OS (a fast Linux distro). Would you like to see her try out Linux, Mac, Windows or other operating systems through history such as OS/360 (1966)? Then give your suggestions in the comments section. Give this video lots of likes, views, favorites and comments if you want my mum to try out other operating systems. I am open to any operating system suggestions you give especially if these videos go semi-viral (over 100,000 views). This channel is dedicated to me "introducing" people (mum, dad, me) to different operating systems they have never used before and leaving them to suffer in confusion struggling to do anything in an unknown computer environment... or see if these other operating systems are better than Microsoft Windows.

Well actually....I got it from K-Mart about 5 years ago for about $25. I've never really been one for designer dresses. Kind regards, Diana

The little apple style commercial at the beginning was ace! So well done, loved the little bloopers your sisters adorable when she talks, and your mum it a pretty good actress when she remembers her lines.. surprised your dad was pretty enthusiastic and went along with it :)

You have inspired me to test OSes and thanks to you I am teaching others how to get Linux on a USB drive!
Thank you, OSFirstTimer

Your mom is much smarter than you give her credit for. Try not to interrupt her so much.

[vicr]

That calculation doesn't seem right... :/

[OsFirstTimer]

Feel free. You can get them from random places. Check out some abandon-ware sites for the early operating systems.

0:33 oh the irony... Now macs have the bad USB c cord and Surface has the Magnetic cord... Anyone else feel like apple shifted into reverse after Mountain Lion?

[ConsciousRobot]

You showed her the wrong keys for Marry Had a Little Lamb

It's one of the best episode by far! I really enjoyed watching it.

[rnicoles]

Fun fact: MikeOS at the beginning is Jasmine

[cookiedoh]

Lol the notes for that marry had a little lamb music was a bit incorrect.

[MrLyckegard]

What? The calculator is actually wrong. 12.6*84.2 is 1060.92, how is that even possible?

[TheAlanlamotte]

Thats a good lerning OS. Very good to learn how to start programming anos OS.

[Afterglow]

Who could dislike a video with such a cute and adorable intro :)

[SusanAmberBruce]

Brilliant, I have downloaded Mike OS to a 3.5 floppy on a computer that was relatively dead! Not any more though, great, so thanks.

I never knew that 2 people could make a enormous organisation.
