YIKES!

Remind me not to talk about DOS with you! : )

I'd give you that life (with computers) was much easier then. But it was also
soo much less of a (computer) life. I was soo dying for multitasking!! The
286 was a bit of a screwup but I was soo ready for multitasking! Then finally
the 386 - but no O/S to use it. Ah, OS2 for a while, but then Linux showed up
and life got EXCITING!

I remember that Linux book for $35 with a CD that had a whole OS on it. And
lots of development tools for free! Then I fell of my chair when I discovered
they had four more CD's for a measly $25!!!! I was in heaven!!!

So you can probably see why I said yikes. You won't get me back to DOS for
anything. : )
