I happened to read in some Microsoft documentation that Windows is a
completely different O/S. Then I read this article telling me Windows is
a completely different O/S. Since I don't need MS-DOS I decided to
free up some disk space. I deleted command.com, c:\dos\*.*, ibmbio.sys
and msdos.sys. Now my machine won't boot and I'm pissed! I going to
get a lawyer and sue you and Bill and your little dog to!
(BIG :-) for the humor impaired.)

I was really hoping for a wolf picture. :-(
