I've been here and linked all this time, just didn't have anything to say.

I'd love to hear more about how/why you stayed with DOS. What kind of
computer are you running on? Have you had to figure any workarounds? Do you
use any DOS IP apps, like a text browser?

Part of my DOS experiment will need hardware -- I want a 4:3 monitor that
does 25 rows/80 columns. Of all of the things I see missing from the
current state of computing, I miss highly legible text and single-tasking
the most.

WHen I write fiction on Windows I use a full screen app and turn off my
wireless card -- that helps with focusing on the task at hand. I'd love to
fire up QEDIT or VDE and do the same.
