Yes, Dan:
Tasks that could be completed in seconds now take minutes in Windows. This is a
major cause of physician burn-out with electronic health records.
I hated Aussie social security. It required using a Web form. That was
very complex. I found it infuriating!
Re: the Compaq, in the late 80's, with the bus expander and a multi-port serial

Hey Dan:
That's great info! I glad to see so many getting use ouf of old
hardware. I, myself, have a whole load of old hardware.
If it still works, or can be made to work, there's no need to chuck it!

Hi Dan:
What are others using freedos for: business, curiosity, running retro
games and apps for fun, to avoid total dependence on the evil empire, or

Hi,
Can speak for no one but myself, to be sure.
Still, I run DOS exclusively, having no issues reaching the internet with
it, or this list smiles.

I've installed freedos because I'm writing my second novel, but I'm easily
