I have no practical use for it today. It is just       fun to look back on something I admired in the past and wanted but never       purchased and used anyway. I was a DOS/Windows user mostly. Today my       main desktop is Linux on both my laptops and my desktop. I use other       OS's as needed/wanted in virtual machines on top of Linux.                                   ~Elf               ,---------------------------,        | /---------------------\ |        | | | |        | | Long Live | |        | | DOS!! | |        | | | |        | | | |        | \_____________________/ |        |___________________________|        ,---\_____ [] _______/------,        / /______________\ /|        /___________________________________ / | ___        | | | )        | 486DX66 [-------] | | (        | o o o [-------] | / _)_        |__________________________________ |/ / /        /-------------------------------------/| ( )/        /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /       /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/ /       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~              ...
