I know nothing of this magazine of which you speak; certainly, they were not "better than cash" at my school when I was younger... :InnocentWhistleSmiley:

Well done! You are, of course completely right!
Well, if I'm honest, not completely right.
Some of it is slightly wrong.
OK, most of it.
OK, OK, nearly all of it is wrong in every single way possible.
But you tried! And we should all respect you for that.

Well ahem, if I read "naughty" that way, instead of what I just realised you intended, I guess I am naughty.

Wow, DOS 1.0. That's a while back.
I started out around DOS 3.3.
Do you remember when DOS 5.0 came out? Big deal with all that himem.sys configuring extended memory and all.
Remember editing config.sys and autoexec.bat? Those were(n't) the days weren't they? 
edlin was cryptically cool. if you could use that you were cool.

Yeah, but nobody needed it.

You still can, and what you put in them is still loaded. Am I alone in finding that scary?

... And was finally removed in Weven -- i.e. it was still there in XP!
(But don't worry; Weven still has things like doskey, xcopy, and find -- remember writing doskey macros?)

I used DOS on an IBM mainframe in the days when I was richer and more famous than Bill Gates. And nobody had heard of the term "personal computer".
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

I started with Dos 6.22 and used Win3.1 only for Solitaire and Word6. Then Win95 came out and it was marvellous - a PC could do THAT? Worthy of byuing a 486 or a freaking Pentium 90!
And the setup procedure, consisting of no less than 27 diskettes, some of those formatted slightly over 2.0 MB to render them not copiable under Windows - except that there were plenty of tools to do that.
As much as I can remember Win95 OSR/2 and Win95 Professional + Plus were the first ones shipped on CDs...
EDIT: for curiosity I wikipediaed the whole story and I wrote a lot of inaccuracies - I was EXTREMELY young and time helped confusing my memory.
