I would have to agree with many of these. But I think DOS should always
be used in conjunction with Windows instead of replacing it. But then
again this depends on the scanario.
As for me how much I wish I would have known about the HP 200LX DOS
palmtop PC (http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/200lx/) before I went Windows
CE.
Some CE screenshots

Having tested a HP 200LX I can vouch that this machine is really much
better than the Jornada 720 for many uses. The Jornada 720 is really a
nice little subnotebook that eats batteries faster than a SUV eats gas,
cant be viewed in bright sunlight, and is a big bulky monster.
Dont get me wrong Win CE palmtops and PocketPC's do have many extra
advantages over a DOS machine. But perhaps these extras are better off
being utilized on a laptop or full size desktop.
The 200LX does kick butt and if you ever get a chance to try one, you
wont disagree.
They still continue to sell higher than many PocketPC and HPC models.

I'm sure there were people that didn't want to give up the horse and buggy
either.

One of the reasons they still run their DOS programs in conjuction with
a primitive platform like Windows instead of OS/2 or Linux. :-)

*** I have an OS/2 buddy. He swears by that system. His only complaint
seems to be that not enough software is written for it.

It's lacking in some areas, not in others. Without its good DOS and
Windows 16-bit support, though, it would probably not be viable for me.
As it is, though, it keeps my interest in DOS programs alive! :-)
