I used to be something of a Power User in DOS ( you had to be to get it to do much of anything besides c:.... )and trying to recall arcane stuff like diskcopy a: a: was, ahem! a bit of a challenge. I can recall the thrill of upgrading my old Trash 80 from 384K of RAM to the full 640K... the expense, the long wait to get chips.... and now people throw away old memory that we would have killed for back then... I found a pile of 72 pin SIMM's being used for key fobs at my wife's office. They weren't of any use in my machines, but that shows how common more memory has become.
2-hour commute, huh? Seems like I used to allow 1 hour to get anywhere... always had a rule of thumb-- "in any city, allow at least 15 minutes to do anything, including driving around the block...."
I miss Dos!!! I can't remember all the little icons and tricks in Bill Gates Abortion of an Operating system...A book I highly recommend is Windows Secrets...they're out for all releases...Its NOT a Microsoft authorized textbook...comes with amazing software extra's and is funny to read as well...Looking up Bill G's kilt so to speak...I must sign off now from bad visual buildup...Pls email Foxnews to put Star Parker on Sean Hannity...I actually taught her to conjugate the Verb "to FREEP" Saturday morning...She's in talks with Fox TODAY!!!
