I agree completely.  I can do just about anything in DOS 20 times faster than
I can do it in Windows.  Not to mention the fact that if you can't get into
Windows, you need to know DOS to get Windows working again.  DOS maybe old,
but it's still an extremely important thing to know.  I had someone that
wanted to come work for me, the first thing I did was give him a book on DOS.
