    I do not believe that I remember that.

    Can't imagine why I would have forgot it.

    Last night I went to the casino. One of the huge ass screens was malfunctioning and had a DOS prompt. It was pretty amusing.

    You're probably right. I didn't even really learn how to effectively use PCs until XP, but my first computer did use 95, and eventually 98.

    Never really messed with 2000 though.

    I remember when I was a kid, my parents bought me a PC Megaman game from one of those little monthly book catalogs they used to do in elementary school. I was in like 3rd grade trying to figure out whether I was supposed to use CGA,EGA,VGA, or Tandy graphics.

    Yeah, but to reference it in an address tag, you need to name the localhost, which you do with things like file:///, file://C/, C://, etc.
