I remember taking one of the big floppies apart. And the smaller ones too. MS-DOS wasn't too bad. I remember typing in A:\ and whatever I had in there to load.

The problem with the command prompt in XP onwards is that it's limited and is too fast for the old stuff. So, you have to use DOSBOX now.

Matrix dot printers, Print Shop, Windows 3.1 best things ever. The old Macs were cool too.
