    DOS means "disk operating system", right? The various DOS programs did indeed operate the disks, so that you could access the data, and do things. Today, we still have DOS incorporated into the broader operating system, but it's still a "disk operating system". Whenever we decide to obsolete disks, and eliminate them, then we will no longer have a "disk operating system", but we will still have OSs.

    Runaway's take on technology is always the Arkansasian low-rent trailer trash opinion. I mean, it is nice that his opinion is here, but, seriously, it does not count for much.

      Why is this spam modded? It is not unsolicited commercial messaging. It is not repetitive. It is relevant and useful information. Wait, that is why?

        Runaway only can get a disk to operate in his double-wide. Sad, but true. And, he is a deplorable racist.
