Wow! I just found this and had to share it with you guys.
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ak621/DOS/Websites.html
Just about everything imaginable related to Dos, from alternating versions (some of which are still being developed), to multitasking, to music and video players to tutorials for things like programming and even basic and complex Dos commands, to utilities for usb drive support! So, in theory, I can use my 120 gb drive with all my music and documents on my Dos machine... that is, on my Compaq Armada not my Keynote gold, cause it doesn't have a usb port. And I can use long file names and did I mention multitasking? I must! see Dos multitask. I know Dreedos can do it but never dreamed the MS variety could. Will someone please give me the sleep command so I don't stay up till the early hours of the morning going through these sites, downloading things and filling up my poor laptop with them? I can even read pdf files and update my Wordperfect 5.1. Now I just need to resubscribe to my Toast.net dialup service, get Net tamer and head on the net.
Speed, even on the net (will get page for that in a bit), reliability, stability, familiarity, ease of use, no bloatware, no spyware or malware, no viruses, tons of software and, like the gui systems, large base of users with many lists etc. I realise some of these might not always be true with enhanced DR-DOS but still worth a shot. Also, I don't wanna learn a whole new operating system. The new dos might be a bit different from the MS variety but not that much. I'm already learning Quickbasic, which a whole language, and that's enough for now.
Sorry mods. Please delete the above message and this one. It was meant for another thread. Went to this one to retrieve the site in post one.
