Remember DOS?

[Marc]

About MS-DOS: "... an OS originally designed for a microprocessor that
modern kitchen appliances would sneer at...."

Q: How many tech support people does it take to change a light bulb?

A: We have an exact copy of the light bulb here and it seems to be
   working fine.  Can you tell me what kind of system you have?  Okay,
   just exactly how dark is it?  Okay.  There could be four or five
   things wrong.  Have you tried the light switch?

Coming up next... Windows XP... Another brick in the wall... How far we've come in so little time.
