I've taken some shots lately for my
admittedly anti-DOS rhetoric (see
Letters, 12/93). As an act of contrition,
I want to make peace with those
pioneers who took all the time to
learn DOS and now don't want to
leave a good tool behind. So instead
of talking about how Mac-like
Windows is, let's bury the hatchet and
look at the advantages Windows offers
to DOS users.
But it takes two to tango. Die-hard
DOS users need at least to admit the
possibility that Windows is an
improvement over DOS. Start by
thinking of Windows as nothing more
than a DOS extender. When you use
Windows and DOS together, you get
advantages that neither can give
alone.
