Subject: Dos will never completely die out

Microsoft dos may end; but, there is still alot of dos machines being used.
I have a few dos chess programs that compute much faster and more
accurately--then supposedly better windows counter-parts--when I run them on a
486 intel 100mz chip. There are quite a few chessplayers at my local club who
only own an ibm xt and they seem to do just as well in their ratings. So if you
have children and can't really afford a IBM clone that runs at 300mz--and the
professional chess software programs that also cost alot of green. I don't
forsee a complete end to dos.....
