Re-arranged my hard drives and tried to format a spare one. XP kept saying something was using it so had to use command line prompt to format it.
For some reason, a grin came over my face when I saw that black screen and it amazed me how simple things used to be. Not having to worry about drivers or spyware or anything else we all check on a daily basis.
I checked the task manager when it was being formatted and the command line prompt used about 40k and formatting used about 300k. how long is it since you have seen a program use this little?
Dos could be a right pain in the a*se sometimes but compared to what we have now, it can be so simple and uncomplicated.
