| 242196 | 2004-06-06 09:15:00 | I'm going to be even more pedantic :) Don't forget the compact disc was invented by Philips, hence the European influence on the spelling from the Latin discus. Disk is an Americanism, and remember I mentioned once the strong influence of German migrants on American English? Well, I think I did :) The Germans love to use the letter 'k', hence diskus in German, and hence disk in American english. |

Sometimes I forget to add the inflection of what I'm thinking into the post I'm writing. Completely destroys any meaning and falls flat if I'm trying to be a S A. I realised it as soon as I posted. Moral = don't be a S A Murray P. ;) So carry on as you wish, it can help lighten the load sometimes, better than getting at those that are closer anyway. Cheers Murray P |

| 242198 | 2004-06-06 13:52:00 | Just to get off the subject, and back to the original query, would a dual boot system with DOS 7.1 (newdos.yginfo.net) be too cumbersome? R2 |

| 242199 | 2004-06-06 21:59:00 | No more so than dual booting any other OS. What do you want to accomplish with "real" dos? I beleive the Dos 7.1 site maintainer hangs out over at -computing.net and should be able to give a few tips. | mark.p (383) | ||
