When I was in college the Mech Eng labs used IBM 386's or 486's with Windows 3.1.

To this day there are things that can be done much easier via command line than GUI...

To a certain degree I'm still a CLC (Command Line Commando)

LOTS of things. The day Microsoft dumps the command line (if they do) is the day I switch to linux completely.

Yea I have learned alot about DOS but im sure I dont know it all!! (Im on Win98se)

I still wonder if the OS we use IS JUST A HUGE DOS PROGRAM!! (Like when i play one of my DOS GAMES)

I have so many fond memories of MS-DOS I just downloaded and will install:

FreeDOS | The FreeDOS Project

Very nice!!!!

Ya one time when I was booting up and during the time it said "LOADING WINDOWS 98" I pressed CTRL-C and i saw ^c and then was left at a C prompt and thats why I wonder if an OS is just a dos progree!! (An advanced one but still........)
