   My first MS-DOS computer had version 5.0.   
      
   I never bought any of the version 6.x's although I did find a box in a   
   Salvation Army Thrift Store that had the CD and Book for IBM PC-DOS 7.0   
   that I bought for $5.00US.   
      
   My question is wasn't the various 6.x upgrades priced around $40.00US?
