- Oh no, not again :-). Ok, I'll bite. Another case of 4DOS vs MsDos
- for alt.religion.computers :-) :-). Why even use 4DOS and a PC when
- one can use a Sun mainframe :-). Why even use a computer. There is
- no end to this tack.
-
- Seriously, because the majority of the PC users are using MsDos. As
- you might recall we already had a ____prolonged____ discussion (a
- good one at that) on this subject last spring in this very
- newsgroup.
-
- I have changed the subject line. I hope that the original task does
- not now get swamped under a this recurring circle from the fans of
- 4DOS, DR-DOS, etc. (They are great OSes or shells or whatever one
- prefers to call them. But we are now considering a MsDos task).
-
- All the best, Timo
