This is Jason replying....I didn't write the below statement. I would NEVER
EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVERdefend Microsoft products. I used DOS until last
year when I relented and bought a Win 98 PC, needless to say Win 98 only lasted
one year for me. Proof that when you make computers "userfriendly" you make
them less reliable. And for the person who wrote that statement below, try
fixing a Windows problem in DOS and see how easy it is, since almost ALL PC's
don't come with DOS instructions!
