@Esq, unfortunatly, your are right about us Yanks. However, there are those, like me, who want to go back to the basics and drop a lot of sports, computers ect. I'm in Ga and we were 50th place out of 50 states in the SAT, Very bad
Sorry for OT. Takes soap box and goes home.

133Mhz 486? D'oh! yeah..... I didn't think it actually made it to the stores. I lost track of that after all the hoopla surrounding the "Pentium." Like, why not call it 586, why Pentium... it sort of means five anyway, etc., etc....

I remember all gushing back then that W3.11 received because had so much more stability....

Off topic, please excuse. @Esq, do you remember, it was a very short time, of Dos 7.0 cominig out? I know that 6.22 was the offical last one, but I remember seeing a box at an office supply place, Office Max I think, selling 7.0

The Dos 7.0 I saw was pre Win 95 I think. Which for some reason I had read it was incorperated into Win 95 and done away with it as a stand alone.

Did a little searching, Link, It went into all three, Ok. At least I wasn't hallucinating. I kind of miss Dos a bit.

Edit: Found where to get dos commands

DOS and other CLIs are very useful. They are used now mainly be IT Professionals and Admins, but they are still extremely useful. DOS may have had its faults (640k of Conventional Memory, anyone? ), but it was quite stable, and could be greatly customised by a savvy user.

I bet that your memory of staring at that black screen never stops hurting .

Needed Dos to play Sentinal Worlds 1: Future Magic when it cam out.

Just found it on the net and downloaded it. They reduced it to give awayware. Around 347k file Played it and MAN were the graphics cheesy. Stilltrying to find all the keyboard commands. Too long since playing it.
