I'm still using MS-DOS daily. I use it mostly for text entry, calculations
ect. I like the reliability and stability of DOS and it's something that grew
on me years ago and I have kept it. I find I like it better for distraction
free work, and I like the retro aspect of running it.  
One of the palmtops is always with me and is used daily. I like it so well
that I have 2 spares.


I'm using a IBM Aptiva model 2168 486/66 with 32 megs of ram, and a model M
keyboard. MS-DOS 6.22. Windows 3.1

AST Advantage NB laptop 486/33 4 megs of ram MS-DOS 6.22 Windows 3.1

HP 100LX and 200 Palmtops running MS-DOS 5 and mainly running the PIM
Software.
