    =============
    Start Button:
    =============

     

    Windo- I mean TPT-OS 1.0 was the first OS to have a start button.*
    To use the start button in 8Ball OS, just click it.
    Note that the start button doesn't work when a window is open, this is because PCs (Powder Computers) don't have alot of ram.

    ====

     

    Q: Haven't I seen this before?
    A: Yes, 8Ball OS is version 3.0 of TPT-OS.**

    Q: What is TPT-OS based off of?
    A: 1.0 is based off of Windows XP, 2.0 is based off of Windows Vista, and 3.0 (8Ball OS) is based off of Windows 7.

    Q: Help! I don't see any blue signs!
    A: If you don't see any links (blue signs) on a screen and you think it's a bug, message me or send a comment on the main save with the save ID of the bugged screen.

    Q: 8Bot couldn't find my monitor and it isn't on the list and now my screen is messed up!
    A: If you don't see your monitor on the monitor list you will need to install the drivers for that monitor, note that monitors links with green on the left will work with you monitor 97.2% of the time and links with yellow work 48.7% of the time, if the link has red on the left it only works 12.4% of the time. (these stats are based on testing and may not be ture)

    Q: I hate you and all of your saves!!!!
    A: Same.

     My user name is Brandon8ball and I didn't want to reuse the "TPT-OS" name for 3.0, so I called it "8Ball OS"

     I dunno "TheBestOS" (pronounced "the best O-S") is a pretty catchy name

     

     

    For this OS, I think 8OS or BallOS would be a better name, though the latter might get comments saying "haha funny balls lololo"

     BallOS also sounds way too similar to Middle English 'bollocks', which refers to the testicles.

    I'd say 8BallOS would be the best choice here.
