   I mean, unless you have another command line OS, you cant run it in   
   windows--so you are stuck with using it in dos... now besides like child   
   going around thinking no one knows syntax and you are "special" and   
   "intelligent" for knowing, you are going to start giving us classes in   
   bios and dos ints... geesh, where do you come from a society of ignorant   
   people--even the homeless people carry laptops and program where I   
   live...   
      
   I also mean you are wasting everyone's time with this argument   
   dribble--but I just repeat myself to someone unwilling or unable to   
   comprehend... your teachers are stuck with reciting time and time again   
   until it gets though you skill--I am not...  find a child to argue   
   with...
