I still use it occassionally when playing in DOSBox.  It truly amazes me 
as to what it can do, and so easily.  

I have often thought that that "era" (let's call it '85 to '97 or so) of 
computing was my favorite time with computers.  Sure, we now have so 
much more capability, and Linux, and graphics galore and all.... but.... 
that period of time was when I feel like I "peaked" in many abilities.  
All the stuff you had to know to maximize MSDOS, and batch files, and 
putting *so* many pieces of software together to run a complete 
BBS/Mailer setup.  I think of it as the "Golden Years".  ;-)
