George likes Wordstar 4.0 for writing. The rest is just not relevant to "Why I still use DOS."
Whatever. I KNOW there are writers who use old tech to avoid the temptation of going on to the Internet while writing. It's much, much easier to click out of your word processor and browse the Internet than it is to get up and walk across the room -- or go into another room to do so.

As for "relevancy," I didn't realize conversations diverging from the main trunk were verboten. My apologies.
