[BC] any DOS fanatics out there?

[markc]

I'd say my experience is pretty much the same as Steve's--My first machine
had MS-DOS 4.01 and I never had any trouble with it that I could blame on
the OS. I also had machines with 5, 6, and up to 6.22 and I just rather
liked the new utilities that MS included with the newer versions. I also
liked the shell that came with DOS 5 (I *think* that's where I first saw it).

I can't really bring myself to feel much nostalgia for the DOS days.
