>>>did much better with the old doss computers.<<<

And that was much better than the CPM machines.

I used to get a call at least once a week from a woman who was working on her PhD in Nursing - usually about 2 or 3 am.
She would be crying - I lost my whole dissertation. I forgot to save before the buffer got full and now it is gone. I had to talk her through recovering it over and over again.

If they would just put out a decent GUI for Unix/Linux, that would be the way to go. But I hate all the quirky screwy names they attach for every program you want to run. But it is 10 times more stable than Microsoft.

Computers, designed to make our life full of frustration.

I restored back to 7-15, it restarted and LOL, is downloading some update and I can’t stop it and sure do not want it.

So goes life.
