I called my dad earlier, and we continued the conversation in emails. We’d been crabbing about Microsoft, and it surprised him when I said I got mad at Microsoft when they forced us to go straight into Windows, completely bypassing DOS. How was I going to get straight to what I wanted, and wanted to do?

Funny how I wouldn’t have too much of a clue with DOS now..

He was surprised because he thought I was too young to know about DOS. This was part of my reply....
