The good thing about DOS was that you didn't - ie couldn't - try to do too much at once. That meant that if something didn't work it was almost impossible for the blame to be laid at the performance of "other" software.

I know I am out bonds, but the good old days was not Win 98 it was DOS 6.22 the last stable operating environment,  and as far as the exact science  I still miss the day when I counted lines and character to exactly fit my report on the page I wanted, not just approx the way I want it, but then again I realize dinosaurs are extinct, So from now on I will say 7.0 on XP are the good old days


Gunnar,

I must agree on DOS 6.22, but I've found Win2000 to be as stable,  at least IMHO. I haven't moved to XP yet, but maybe on SP 2 or 3 <g> And Win2000 fails MUCH more gracefully than DOS did.

I don't have to use the 3 fingered DOS salute (Cntl-Alt-Del) NEAR as often as I did with in the good old days. Seems the good old days aren't as good as they seemed, we just seem to forget how DOS used to flog us <g>
