It must be nice.  I remember a lot of problems with the DOS back with 1.0,
and a few with 1.1.  I haven't worked much with 2.0, 2.1 or 3.0 but a co-worker
just lost a whole hard disk full.

Why does everyone forget that the IBM PC is on it's FIFTH iteration of OS and
the Mac is only on it's second.
