I don't just /have/ "DOS" boxes, I have one running OS/2 virtually 24/7 for the
primary purpose of running Quattro Pro, where all my important personal data lives
isolated from the internet, using ATI's proprietary SVGA text 132x43 (800x600)
mode that no newer GPU or OS I have found supports. I boot PC DOS directly on it
on occasion, such as the unusual case of both yesterday and the day before more
than once each.
