<html> <body> Interesting to see the chronology on Linux & Windows MS-DOS. I started on a monochrome CP/M+ machine. Nice to see the heat going out of the exchanges, too. From my view, Windoze has become worse in recent times. In attempting to be an all-things-to-all-people "thing," it has failed to be a reliable OS. Back in the days of yore, if an established OS had as many problems as Windoze, it would've been laughed into oblivion, in my view. For now, I've got a toe in the Linux water because because I'm concerned for the Windoze future and my ability to retain control of my computer and my computing. I don't want to delve under the bonnet too much, but I do want to be able to carry out running repairs when things go amiss or need tuning. Perry</body> </html>
