  When I got my first pc, a IBC 286, it was quite easy for me to use DOS,
wince so much has been done in BASIC.  My thinking was just change this to
that and off I went.
  Do I miss the days of having to enter command lines and running only one
program at a time?  
  Silly boy!
  I miss them as much as hand cranks on automobiles.
  But I do enjoy saying to young whippersnappers on their smartphones
something like "Back in my day..." from time to time.  :)
