Every time there’s an operating system change, there’ s a bunch of cranky geeks who swear they’ll never upgrade. And for a lot of folks, there’s no need to. “I can do all I need to do in DOS and Wordstar.” Fine. Shut up and enjoy it.

DOS and Wordstar, way to live on technical edge. Real geeks use CP/M or Unix and use ed or VI!!

I liked Wordstar until I used Word. Wordperfect had to be one of the worst word processors around, anyone remember reveal codes and their macros?

I still go to the DOS session in Windows 7 and the various server versions. I was going through some old boxes and found a 1.44 version of DOS6.22 and DOS 5.0! Good times.

Listen. my PDP-11 with the 9x6 dot-matrix TTY is all the computer I need.

All of y'all with your fancy Intel 286 and 386 machines and 9x15" VGA monitors...... PSHAW!
