I love the command line. Everything went downhill when people started depending on GUIs.

I still say OS2/Warp was the best PC operating system, ever.

I still have a copy of DOS 3.3 in a box somewhere. 5.25” floppies, baby.

Actually... Gates got it from Xerox... as well as the mouse.

As smart as Bill Gates is there was a tremendous amount of luck and coincidences that led to the huge success of Microsoft.

Cool. I just had to load an interface for an old Telemecanique PLC. Everything had to be loaded and run through DOS. We have an old Satellite laptop for this.
For the first hour I couldn't understand why, in DOS, whenever I typed the "/" key I would get another character. It was happening all over the the keyboard.
Took me a while to decide to open 'autoexec.bat' and find this little command: "Keybd FR". What? Someone set the keyboard in DOS to French?
The interesting part was how easily the DOS commands came back to me.
It was actually quite fun.
