On: Thirty Years Ago: MS-DOS 6.00

It wasn't a mainstream gaming platform, true. But the productivity and development tools available would absolutely run rings around what was available for DOS. Easily worth the price if you needed it.

Anyway my main point was that DOS was nearly as primitive then compared to state of the art as it would be considered today.

And compared to Irix the NeXT was nothing, but by the price of a basic -functional- SGI machine you could get a car.
