I was happy for years running DOS with Norton

multitasking OS. Why? Because DOS wasn't a multitasking OS. There lies the
problem.
To which I answer: Desqview. Desqview on my 386sx made me at least 6 times
more productive, especially since bad coding on my part didn't lead to a crash
on the computer's part. After that I moved to OS/2 2.x so I could still have
multitasking DOS that was even more robust than what Desqview could provide.
