My point is that in a "writing room" where there's no internet connection available (or if the network adapter has been yanked), it doesn't
matter if a computer/OS is new or old. The "
old OS can't connect to the internet (and it's distractions)" theory simply doesn't hold water. Besides, If George was "tempted," he can easily move to his computer that IS connected to the internet.
George likes Wordstar 4.0 for writing. The rest is just not relevant to "Why I still use DOS."
