Default Is Usnet Dying?

shocked to see no one was using this great resource. (But then again, most
of these kids don't even know how to get around in DOS ;-))


I remember teaching the local Marines how NOT to use
WordimPerfect to edit their config.sys and autoexec.bat
files. Hell, I remember back when an operating system
fit on a single-sided 5-1/4" floppy. (Dad's Kaypro w/ CPM)
Ask your kids about those for a laugh.


Dad's KayPro? Had my own KayPro, thanks. Loved that thing, but didn't love
WordPerfect on it, so I used WordStar, after I had trouble with Perfect Writer.
Both just about totally vanished from ANY scene now.
