- ¿ What is this all about ???
-
- First, about me: my name is Max Nam, I'm 18 years old, student
- of Montgomery College, in Computer Science Field. My
- programming experience includes two years of programming in
- C/C++ and 1 year of Basic. Currently, I'm teaching myself
- Pascal and Assembly language, just for fun of it.
-
- Well, to make a short story long, one stormy evening, after
- watching Star Trek, I've approached my computer with one
- strange thought in my head... I remember I was thinking of how
- versatile was the computer on Enterprise... "Why can't be my
- computer more intelligent?" - I though to myself, and,
- accidently I've typed DIR, simply to find out how much space I
- had... I got stuck searching for the information... the next
- thing I remember I was rapidly writing some program to show
- that in graph... and that is how the idea of 'Free' was born.
-
-
- The Definition of 'Free':
- ⁄ƒƒ
- ≥
- Free is a simple program to show the amount of free
- resources the machine has in easy-to-understand layout, ≥
- using text-based charts and special video effects. ≥
