This guy is a perfect example of those who are afraid of the command line
interface, and those who worship Bill Gates, I run both linux and MSDOS
6.2 & Win3.11, I will never install Win95 simply because it is poorly
documented and it's painfull to use. I really good tagline I once saw
comes to mind: MicroSoft, 10 years of the 640K limit.
Something to that affect.
