Ugh... Different autoexec.bat and config.sys files needed to run different games? Only being able to run one program at a time unless you used Desqview to swap between them? Drive letters? The horror that is edlin?

I'll take any Unix OS over that garbage any day.

Although it was sorta cute being able to have a working system consisting only of a single file, command.com... /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

You didn't need different autoexecs or config.sys's to run games, you just had to run the lines one by one.

I'd take an assembly based system any day though. Whoever mentioned that earlier was so right. Very archaic, very stable.

Just a personal note:

Beware the Judder Man my deal when the server's phat.
Sharp of eye & quick of trigger his is, and cunning.
With sweetened talk of frags & kills, and the deliciousness of head shots.
