 It was a lot of fun to have around, but managing DOS memory was always
 the challenge. Running Memmaker or QEMM, trying to maximize DOS memory,
 then having it crash and having to re-arrange everything...

 I don't recall exactly how much memory Sidekick took, but you'd
 definitely need to exit it occasionally.

 That was when I discovered OS/2. Definitely a better DOS than DOS, as
 they said.

 I'd run OS/2-DOS command prompts for most things. I ran a LANTastic
 network on the BBS box, and since there wasn't an OS/2 client for it,
 created a DOS VDM with the LANTastic drivers so I could access the
 network from that window.



.... What do you think management's real interests are?
