Doesnt prove a thing about what was being discussed, how to
partition the boot drive of a FAT32 Win9x system and whether it
makes any sense to be furiously bashing away at the keyboard
at the DOS prompt in that sort of system thats working fine.

Without a shred of evidence that it actually is for the average user.

How odd there are all those out there who dont know DOS and have a job.

Got SFA to do with how much sense that makes.

Got absolutely nothing do with with the
average Win9x user who isnt MSC certified.

Completely and utterly irrelevant to whether it makes any sense to be pounding
away at the DOS prompt on a Win9x system thats working well today.

Completely and utterly irrelevant to whether it makes any sense to be pounding
away at the DOS prompt on a Win9x system thats working well today.

Completely and utterly irrelevant to whether it makes any sense to be pounding
away at the DOS prompt on a Win9x system thats working well today.

Never said anything remotely resembling anything like that.

ALL I said was that it makes no sense to be furiously pounding away
at the keyboard at the DOS prompt today on a working Win9x system.

You can take anything you like.

You cant even manage to grasp what my comments actually are.

> i dont like DOS, but im damn glad i know it

You have always been and always will be, completely and utterly irrelevant.

Specially when you have such a massive problem with
the most basic logic. FAR more important for those jobs
you wave around than an intimate knowledge of DOS.
