Yeah, Dos was a good operating system I all the time I used Dos it never crashed and was prety simple and reliable. Too bad windows couldn't keep that same concept windows 98 is killing me slowly with bugs, error and crashes!!! I have Darklands on 3.5 disk It worked perfectly on my 486 on my pentium 200 (I kept a version of dos 5.1 on it) Darklands still worked good (if not for the fact in walk sceens caracters would rush like thunder).

Then I bought pentium 500 with all the pretty gadgets asked for win 95, (nope can't have it) win 98 with dos (This is the guy's reponse: Whats Dos?), Finally I get a bug filled win 98 (God I miss win 95!) a modem I will have to replace. sometimes newer isn't better. I sold my old p200 to friends of my mother and I visted them my old computer still works great while my my is slowly going to the craper)

Strahd ! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif
Want an advice ? DON'T go for Win ME (God ! I miss good old Win98 ... http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif )

And you know what ? MS-DOS is still very much alive where I currently work - tell me how else you can test the hardware on a new computer before the installation of Windows ?

I concurr - ME was much slower on the same hardware for me and had some SERIOUS issues with audio. Enough that I formatted + 'down' graded back to 98. Shame.

Same here man! I remember when I first installed Windows for Workgroups, and UGH, I was saying to myself 'I could have done that in 2 seconds in dos'.

I still use it in win98.. also use a util called 'List Enhanced'. cool dos proggy.

Btw, for you DOS people-- before 1994, I ran a BBS called The Great Escape, and it had a RPG area as well. It ran from 1991-1994. Was real fun. Ran WWIV software too. http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...miles/wink.gif

I swear that Microsoft and Intel have something going; where MS creates a new Operating System which is slower so we have to buy a new Processor.. REALLY!! I mean, go load up Windows 3.11 on a P3 500, sheesh, it blazes! Same for win95.

Then you get to Win98, you see a slight slowdown, but going to WinME or Win2000, it's like you're cutting your speed inhalf. sucks!
