Next time, complain that your DOS 6.0 can't run Notepad :-) Maybe you paid a fortune for that system back in the 80s.

If I were on DOS, I'd be happy running Borland C++ with 1-2MB of RAM. Even though Ahem 640k ought to be enough for everybody. The lesser the bloat, the better.



Editing, categorizing, archiving, searching, and viewing my photos and videos isn't bloat though, it's one of the major reasons why I have a computer. There's far more to computers than just entering text on a local filesystem and compiling small applications.


So, that's just your choice then. How you wish to pay for it depends on YOUR choice. :-)
