I recreated my old DOS/QWK environment in a full-screen DOSBOX session, 
using Qedit as an editor and all the old tools I used back in the day. I 
liked the focus it provided, having one full-screen session and no cut/paste 
between the internet and my DOS window.

Now that I have a ultrawide monitor, I prefer running in a windowed session; 
there's only so far you can stretch fonts.

There are worse problems to have.
