Ah now see we never had that problem with DOS. No lockups as far as I can remember other than the times I wrote some bad code in BASIC! 

 

Now remember, Windows wants you to press the "Start" button (?) in order to shut the computer off. So why does it shock you that sometimes it doesn't shut down? LOL

I'm a point and clickguy thatcame with windows and have had to resort to pulling the plug on XP more thanonce to regain at least partial control.Jim Hiller -----Original Message-----From: nsrca-discussion-bounces at lists.nsrca.org[mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces at lists.nsrca.org]On Behalf Of Martin X.Moleski, SJSent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 7:06 AMTo: General pattern discussionSubject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Experimenting with new forum software Jay Marshall wrote: > What's wrong with DOS? DOS is cool. Back in the DOS 2 days, I knew every file on my computerand what it did.  I was the master of a very smalluniverse.

I know the feeling.  I often imagine what DOS
 wouldbe like on any of my obsolete computers--they areWAAAAAAAAAAAY beyond my old 8088 for horsepower! I've put DOS on a couple of thumb drives for variousnefarious schemes.  It works.  It's useful.  It bringsback lots of happy memories.  Then I unplug it andgo back to GUI-world.  No more whole-system catalogues.I'm not even sure of the order of magnitude of systemand program files on my computer.  40,000?  More?Beats me.  As long as they stay quiet and play togethernice, I don't look at them.
