[TRLog] The end of MS-DOS as we know it

[N9CO@aol.com]

Pete brings up a valid point.

Having just purchased a new pc, I am still in the "gee whiz, let's see what 
this box will do" phase.  Unlike some TR user's, though, I am totally happy 
with good ol' DOS 6.2x and will continue to keep a machine running just for 
this purpose.  Like many TR user's, I have built up a stash of 486 
motherboards and ISA/VESA cards.  All were given to me.

Having said that, though, I still think it would be "neat" to use TR on my 
new box.  But not in Windows!!  I would prefer Linux.  I have downloaded a 
Linux program called "TLF" that has a TR "look and feel".  It's still in it's 
infancy, but shows promise.

Why Linux and not Windows?  My personal experience.  I don't know about the 
rest of you, but I've had many episodes with Windows (98, NT, 2000, XP...), 
both at home and at work, that has left an increasingly bitter taste in my 
mouth.  I've been around UNIX professionally for some 15 years or so now, and 
I find Linux to be comfortable and familiar.  And there are many graphical 
interfaces for Linux; it's not a simple command line OS.  I run KDE here, and 
am very happy with it.

Since Pete opened this can of worms (again), I just thought I'd throw in my 2 
cents worth.

73 es GL!
