- Back in the 80's there were a variety of graphical operating environments such as GEM, Tandy DeskMate and early versions of Windows that ran on top of MS-DOS, providing a keyboard and mouse driven graphical interface alternative to typing text based commands.
In this episode, Diana will be trying out Deskmate 3.02 from 1988. Will she be able to navigate her way around or will this interface be a bit too difficult for her? Keep watching to find out!
Next time on OSFirstTimer, watch as Diana tries another piece of software from yet another time period in history. See you next time!
Outro Music: • Video
Walk Home - Solar (from about 2 minutes in)
You guys may notice the completly new intro in this video (15 seconds in) which replaces both the original OSFirstTimer intro as well as the OSFirstTimer Advanced Intro with the fire and dramatic music (well... this one has dramatic music too). The reason for the change is that, just yesterday, I found out that the music in the osft advanced intro was protected by copyright.
Shortly after uploading the Algodoo video, UA-cam sent me a copyright notice and told me that the video was sharing profit with "PositionMusic". I thought it was odd and maybe a mistake as I hadn't used any new music in the video (and I've been using the advanced intro since jan 2015). I then uploaded the Resume video and got the same copyright notice so, stupidly I filed a dispute which was rejected and at this point I realised where the music came from.
In regards to the new intro, you guys have been asking me for a new one for years now as the current ones are around 15-20 seconds long (which is a bit too much once you have seen it in every video). So the new intro is 3 seconds long and the special visuals were borrowed from editing work I've been doing for a Sydney fitness company as well as footage from recent videos, specifically to include Ben somewhere in the intro ;)
hi
I do sometimes respond, TheGamingPizza542, but, with the amount of comments I get it can sometimes be hard
Love the new intro! 😊
New intro is short and sweet :)
(and flat :D)
I am sorry you got the copyright thingymacdongles but I like the new intro thingymajig!
Ohhh, the good old Diana Radioactive Colours
lol
Only in Diana Perfect OS.
"f this and f that"

Digging the new intro, Phil!
Definitely looks more professional than the previous ones, albeit the music makes it sound kinda breaking news-y, know what I mean?
That's not a problem though :D
Kinda unrelated, but seeing the new intro reminded me of the few times I joined the OSFT Weekly Chats (when they were a thing), for some bizarre reason.
Dunno how these two things are related in *any* way, but my brain does this sometimes.
Would it be the elevator music I used to play in the chats? :)
Seems so :p
I am waiting for day when OSFirstTimer reaches 100K subscribers
Edit: Didn't expect for this to get so much likes! Now they have 92K... maybe we're not that far
Edit again: On January 8, 2021 they have reached 100K subscribers! Congratulations! 🎉
I'd love that day to come, but sometimes it feels like new subs are coming in so slow that that day may never come. But thanks, I love your enthusiasm!
OSFirstTimer It is true because of the inactivity you had, mate.
😍 im waiting for mum to start building some pc gaming desktops yay! 💻🖥💻🖥💻🎮🕹😍🚩
OSFirstTimer it’s because you took a long break from when you were gaining subs. You gotta get in the mind of the algorithm. You should be able to come back once you post frequent videos for a while, then UA-cam will start putting you in recommended again.
OSFirstTimer Well OSFirstTimer gained 16K subscribers in the last 14 months so hopefully 100K will happen in the next year :D
Love your videos Philip and Diana, it's been great watching the channel grow and change over the years (I've been watching since 2013) love your channel so much I have a lot of good memories watching it this might sound weird but your channel has become a part of my life because of all the memories I have with it carry on the good work
Wow, I'm glad the channel has made such an impact in your life! You certainly have been around watching for a long time. Sometimes I feel the channel has reached a dead end in regards to how long viewers will still find it's content interesting, but looks like I'm at least slightly wrong there. I hope you've learned lots along the way watching this channel, just as I have learned heaps while making this videos.
First! Philip, I love watching this channel. Your family is one of the best family friendly family's on UA-cam.
It wasn't a _filler,_ rather it was a _filer_ (file-r: a thing that files stuff) hahaha :)
i died when he called it a filler ahh
Found you!
I went onto my TV to check your channel, and wow! Video uploaded 4 minutes ago. I just had to comment using my iPod. I’m trying to think of a suggestion for a video...
Well also watching on a TV then turning on my iPod just to leave a comment about watching it on my TV is weird....
As for suggestions, well, for me, I had been imagining having them try Red Hat Linux 9, but it would turn out to be the current version of Fedora at the time, in disguise.
I’m still thinking of something... it’s been 24 hours from my regular post, right?
Amazing video Love that you're back
"if you press the f it will f the recording", that's pretty funny
Hi!, this is my most favourite channel on youtube, so yeah just wanted to say that
Just yesterday with the help of OSFirstTimer I have escaped the clutches of microsoft and Windows 10. Well, at least on my laptop anyway, on that I've moved to antergos with the Xfce desktop environment and I couldn't be happier with the speed and customizability.
I have to stay with Windows 10 on my PC though, because I use things like Sony Vegas and Gaming :p
Good. I've been using Kubuntu for years
ShinyHo-Oh789 ShinyHo-Oh789 nice. I dual booted kubuntu with win10 on my laptop since I got it February this year, but only recently got rid of windows off it :p
Try kdenlive for editing
Windows 93 has returned...
I love your brand new short intro😍
i cant express how much i love this channel
I remember the first video I've ever watched from you, OSFirstTimer History, and now it's well out of date!
Diana's color combinations are certainly eyesore.
ah deskmate, my first GUI! Tandy 1000 FTW! you ain't livin' unless you got 2 floppy drives :)
We had this program on our computers in high school. They were Tandy I think with a 286 processor.
Love the look of the new TV Like style titles
The New Intro Is SOO COOOOL
💡 Idea for the next video: Mum tries out Autodesk 3ds Max.
DeskMate is the perfect name for an Australian OS.
Memories thinking around
I just home got from school. And I saw this. The title sounds awesome. ps I love the new intro.
Love the new intro...
the next episode should have you all counting to 100
New intro! Nice. Quick and simple. 😉
Looks like about 85% of subs like it and 15% rather the old one. As long as most people like it I'm happy as the change wasn't my choice, it was forced due to copyright reasons. So as long as a positive comes out of it, I'm happy :)
haha got here in the first 15 mins... didn't even have notifs on
RIP Tandy RadioShack :(
I love the love in both of yours
I love your background colors
Diana's radioactive colors is ruining my eyes 😂😱
Newer is always the best!
Hey my dude, if you're having copyright issues then maybe I could help you out by producing a bespoke piece of music for your introductions? I've been watching your videos for a few years so it would be great to be able to give something back, contact me if you're interested :)
aww I Miss The old Intro
20min ago best I've done and nice intro mate and UK people Say Mate... PS still the good old Outro
And I like that recently that OSFirstTimer has made videos and I'm UK and you deserve more subs
yay another video! :)
7:36 Kazakhstan theme
That green ui tho. Great video as always. :)
I'm a fan of green on black UI :)
OSFirstTimer I remember using a green on black theme on windows 7 I think, looked like a virus on win 98.
You should show a photo of your mum from whatever year the OS is that she is trying out. So 1988 in this case.
Awsome new intro!
Nice like it
I played with quickmenu in the past and liked it
I wonder how people would of reacted when the first computer with an advanced interface came out
2:22 F that F this
Love the new intro! x
Let's go to 100K!!!
I have run ubuntu in a virtual machine. I have an 9 year old netbook and now want to run this on it. One of my first games was Pt-109 that I ran on a Tandy 1000 with 640k upgrade memory. Is the best way a vm with a dos emulator that runs deskmate?
Wow the editing got a boost
you back, lol
YAY! Finally an upload!
fun fact:
Tandy DeskMate is a windows competitor and lost to windows 3
Woah this is cool, it's like a semi-os
Windows 1-3 were all in the same category as this, none of them were stand alone operating systems :)
@@OsFirstTimer Depending on how it was installed, wasn't Windows 95 the same way as well?
Good, I wasn't eating a candy during this one.
This one wasn't actually that funny so don't worry, eat the candy, you won't choke ;)
I thought it was pretty funny. Eh. *Puts candy in mouth*
oh those crazy colors , your mom have to be color blind :D
Cool video
Dad tries out Windows XP Vienna edition with Mum watching
I kinda like what diana do
When are you doing the song contest thing?
I think im actually the only one that prefers the old intro.
Well the old one got copyright striked so it can't be helped
No the copystricken one was the OSFT Advanced intro. I prefer the old non-advanced intro.
🤓 I remember Tandy computers back in the 80s but I dont know what is Deskmate 😇
I have an operating system for you to try; one which I don't think you have featured before: It's called Menuet . It's apparently written only in assembly.
Cool a new video thanks
Somehow, I also felt sick.
Lol funny as always
I'm glad you like it, although, this one was a lot less funny that some of our previous videos. You may find it interesting that the original video length was 48 minutes, however, due to a lot of uninteresting parts it was shortened a lot. Most OSFirstTimer videos are an hour before being edited to ensure they are fast paced and don't get too boring :)
Will the Outro stay?
What Emulator are you using to run Deskmate?
I've been here for 3 years anybody else?
can you make video called windows neptune is based with windows 2000
this is VGA or high res EGA ? and can it run on CGA?
That color combo made me sick as well
I understand why you do this in emulation, but I think it's too bad you're not running this on a genuine Tandy 1000 PC, such as the 1000 HX or RL.
Nice intro! Can your mom test a gaming console like the OG Xbox or Playstation 1.
Mum tries out Dark Souls!
can you try iOS 12
etc.
et cetera
ect.

I like the pink and blue lol
Is it even possible to destroy that operating syatem
Do a video on Windows Embedded POSReady
Nice new intro!
2:28 don't do any effing. Lol
I watch your channel for a longer period of time :D I may not be sure, but I picked up that you're a programmer, that's why you got sick of the color scheme :D You're not used to this kind of combination :D i thought i'm going blind :D
Could you guys a plumber from currently
Ben tries out Windows XP Vienna edition
Woah, I misread 728 views as 72B views!

+OSFirstTimer Nice New Intro 😀
Thanks, hope it's not too short :P
Not being rude but its a little short but it looks good
Mum tries out i3 window manager?
i got sick
Why are your uploads not as rare as they used to be? Do you and diana suddenly have time all the time?
I used to have a full time job as an early childhood educator that ran at a centre for over 40 hours a week (and later 50 hours a week when I opened my own in Brookvale), and then, upon arriving home I'd be looking after Jasmine. Now however, I do part-time editing for a Sydney Fitness company (while also looking after Jasmine) and thus, I have a lot more time to do these videos. Diana is in a similar situation.
You forgot to tell her to shutdown lol
Can you do mum tries out kali Linux
