^_^;; I had been under the impression my post was kinda light hearted, but
I'm sorry if you are taking it very seriously.

Still, just because it doesn't live up to current standards hardly negates
DOS as an operating system.

Like I said above, I had made my post in a light hearted kinda way. Kinda
borrowing a bit on your mentioning about others who might compare Linux to
Dos based on them using command lines. ^_^;

Not in anyway poking fun at you, Ben.

I'm sorry if you've been offended, but that was not the intent. I had
thought I was making a light hearted post, but obviously, it's being taken
extremely seriously. -_-
