I'm with you on that one Derek. Dos had a lot to be said for it. Aside from the
things we could do with it that aren't possible with windows it was so small
and quick, not slow and cumbersome like Windows, which seems to become more
sluggish and cumbersome the more complex it becomes.

Well what I liked about dos, (and windows cannot do can it?)
Is the use of bat files
Lets say you wanted to log in to talking news papers.
You have to do the following.
go to the address of the web site
(ok so you can do this from favourites)
You then have to log in
And then go to the news paper.
But if we were using dos now, we could have
Just typed in say: "paper" and the file would then
Do an automatic login and bring you straight to the paper.
So much quicker than now.
Derek

a subset of the dos command set is still hidden underneath the windows
gui but the preferred method now is using either vbscript of java
script(and Microsoft even have their own variant of that). of course if
you really feel adventurous you could give Linux a try (ubuntu and vinux
for example both have orca) .
