QUOTE(wwheeler @ Jul 9 2005, 06:37 AM) I have to use it daily for the company that I work for, because they still use the doss shell for some of the rateing programs... My Favorite thing to use it for at home is qbasic to play the games... I love monkey, or what ever it is that you throw the explosive bananas. And I still use Qbasic at home to write software for work and or play. I wrote a program not to long ago that would print and file a flight plan for my airplane.... But, some of the games that I used to play in DOS can't handle the processor spped that my machine has, and therefore, I am going back through all of my old hardware, and am going to try and build a machine that I can play the game Apollo 18: Mission to the moon on.  Qbasic was the first proggramming language I learned. I remember going in and changing all my Qbasic games as a kid, because they were open source. Then I started writing programs from scratch after studying a book with the syntax. I was always addicted to that Bouncing Babies game on DOS. |

I only use DOS for the commandline interface for batch programs and when something on the network is not operating properly.
Without DOS I couldn't do a lot of my work, actually. |

I sometimes use MS-DOS, although I use it less now because it is less compatible with disk compression on FAT partitions.
I use it sometimes to play games, not much really. :| |
