[Ham-Computers] Blind Dude Blunders! Help!

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Kurt,

Thank you for the suggestion.

Only a few DOS commands are still supported by Windows since the 
introduction of Windows 2000. Not only do the manufacturers not want us to 
use DOS, they make it nearly impossible to do so!

The best computer I ever had, and still have, runs Windows 95B. It does 
everything I need and does it very well. I use it off line nowadays, but I 
can still FTP files to the HHI web site if the need arises!

Since it is an antique by computer senility standards, even the hackers 
leave it alone!

Since I wrote about 90% of the software programs that I use, and learned to 
program when 16K of RAM was standard and 48K was huge, I have programs that 
range in size from 10K to 18K. Nowadays the languages use that much memory 
for the CRT status line! (LOL!)
