DOS never says "EXCELLENT command or filename"...

│▓█▓▒░ Tech Tips: │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Tech tip: If making entries in the CONFIG.SYS file, your system will be
just a tad faster if you make them all with capitals. Lower case works
fine but the system translates them to upper case before execution.
Sysop tip: A clean floppy drive lasts longer. Use the wet filter kind
please or you will eventually destroy the Read/Write heads.
Terminology Korner
------------------
Platform- Refers to either the type of computer, or the operating system
in use. May refer to both at the same time.
OEM- Origional Equipment Manufacturer, secondary meaning more commonly
encountered means it is 'non-standard' and may not be upgradeable except
via the manufacturer. Encountered with computers and modems.
HD- Short for hard drive. Unless you are a real golfing fan, this is a
computer storage device. Contains a metal set of platters on which
inforation is written magnetically in 0's and 1's which the computer can
read.
Virus- Nasty thing that makes you or your computer 'falafel' at odd moments.
Not as common as some think. OJ for you and Vshield for your computer are
the recommended preventives.
ASCII- a system where 0's and 1's are translated by the computer to things we
humans can make sense of. The difference between a "B" and a "C" is an
extra 1 in one of the parts. Looks like greek.
