-=PCTechTalk=- Re: NTLDR missing - HELP

BBS's yes they were kickers huh?  my first comp was an 8088 w/o a harddrive 
though I eventually put one in DOS 4.0 if I remember correctly.  I "grew-up" on 
DOS though I was quite an older man by then remember windows 2.0 - those were 
the days my friend.

Thanks for the reply.  I really miss DOS.  A
customer asked me today if the 
new WinVista was a good OS.  I replied very
bluntly that MS has not produced 
any good software or OS since DOS.  Popular? 
Yes.  Good?  No.

When he asked why, I explained how bloated and
resource hogging MS (and 
other companies) software had become and the
corporate mentality at MS is 
"why use just one million lines of code when the
same thing can be 
accomplished with over one BILLION instead".

Give me DOS 6.x, Wordstar 4.0 and dBase3 any day.

Don

P.S.  Does anybody here remember what a BBS
is/was?
