Unix is so extremely much better, you can run servers, apache, perl etc, the
feel is like dos but so much more comfortable. Yes, its a little bit bigger,
but what was once the old XT or 286 is now the old 486. Still have an old 286er,
but I havent seen a 386er for years now.

And when I was asking for the future of Dos some weeks ago, I was more thinking
about the future of this dear and noble newsgroup.
