i started coding in turbo c 2.0, and every now and then, the ide would
just quit, requiring a hard reboot. or, things would be flaky unless i
used huge memory model (_slow_) even though i didn't do any farmallocs or
whatever.. i think it also had a lot of libc (or what they call c0h.lib ;)
bugs..
anyway dos is probably the only OS that can puke up in the middle of your
work of a daily basis (trashing all of it) and you have to shutdown and
reboot, and YOU ACTUALLY ACCEPT THIS. you can guess my initial reaction
the first time i saw the 45-day uptime of a SunOS box... ;>
