Re: QOTW: Why DOS?

["Mythic uuh... Smith" <mythicd@Hotmail.com>]

I did programming in DOS for a long time simply because I was too lazy to 
learn any windows programming, before MFC it took a good page and a half to 
put a window in the screen, let alone make a decent program that uses any 
amount of the power of Windows.
I guess that would mean that it's because windows programming is too 
difficult.
