Actually, it is very likely that DOS will rise like a Phoenix. But it won't have to run on the same Intel crap that's here now. Linux may still be around in 20 years doing SOMETHING, but the Win$ products are guaranteed to be totally dead and gone. The customer base will all be using some form of the next generation OS and there will be no requirement for physical interaction with the computer - thru a GUI or any other physical means. Think about it. There will be no place for a computer that isn't smarter than the average user.<G> What will DOS do ?

Maybe some form of Linux could do the scutwork for the home AI, but it is my guess that it would prefer something a but more efficient. <G> - Clarence Verge. -- Using Arachne 1.66 on DSL.
