Who here runs a computer on MS-DOS (as the main OS)? YAY!
My laptop (a 386) runs Ms-Dos 6.22

Old Toshiba Satellite Pro - dual boot MS-DOS 6.22 / Windows 98 SE. Comes in awfully handy from time to time.

I still keep it around on one of my machines (dual-boot w/ Win98) so I can play some old DOS-based games in 'native mode'.
Even in Win2k and XP, I still use command-line utilities for lots of stuff, since I program stuff for a living.

if it's a 386, it's probably about as thick as clinton's book and has the dimensions of poster board

8. I work with DOS all the time |
|
My services are getting very valuable, too. We have machines that are mandated to run DOS programs which were developed in the '80's. Anybody who graduated from a technical school after '96 knows NOTHING about DOS.

9. Can't play Duke Nukem 3D without it! |
|
I use System Commander with a DOS 5.0 configuration just for that purpose.
Some of the old Infocom games work better under DOS as well.

11. I think I had more fun on my old MS-DOS machine. . . |
|
Than all my Windoze machines combined. I had to save up a long time to afford that 32 MB hard drive, but when I did get it, man was that a sweeeet machine.
