- Even after running OS/2 1.3 for 6 months and OS/2 2.0 for two months
- I still find myself doing things I don't have to just because I'm
- used to DOS's limitations. I laugh at myself every time I accidentally
- enter a 'mem' at an OS/2 command prompt and watch OS/2 automatically
- sense it as being a DOS program and therefore automatically open up
- a separate DOS window, load DOS, run 'mem' (the results of which fly
- by too fast for me to even see ;-), close the DOS window, and then
- return to the original OS/2 command line! This whole process takes
- only 2 seconds on my 386/33.
