DOS is still gold to me

25 years ago Nov 10 was the start of MS Windows version 1. Amazingly that was kind of the start of a GUI interface and multitasking environment running on a DOS. If you start using a PC from Windows 95 or 98 or XP, you have missed the golden era of PC evolution. While it may not be as multitasked and great sound and colors, but PC then were simple. You have enough RAMs your PC will be king. The games were simple and easy to run. Unlike games now, it is big, requires high performance hardware and you need to wait while it struggle to load. Does that mean DOS is no more? DOS still will be around. Certain tasks some people would still prefer DOS and for people who had tasted the DOS era, they most likely will use DOS for some of their troubleshooting tasks.
