[B]What on earth is that???????????????😕

Vajlda was talking about that license you got bundled with Office 🙄
Yeah, I actually prefer Office 97 over Office XP, even if everyone claims Office XP is better. Honestly, a basic text editor is plenty for me when I need to draft a work plan. Back when I finished high school, Windows 95 wasn't even out yet, and I graduated right around then too.😁

Now you're accusing me of lying, too? That's easy for you to say since we both know exactly what MS-DOS is and why I phrased it as:
"this... is what DOS looked like"
instead of
"that is DOS"

Go get some sleep. You passed the test...

For God's sake, if I could pull off my high school thesis using Write on Windows 3.0, then I don't see why WordPad isn't good enough to type up a grocery list for the family meeting...

And here you all are, championing piracy and breaking the law. I hope the BSA comes knocking on your door to bless your computers.

If copying is piracy, then what the hell is cloning? 🙂
Anyway, I trust my wife will just go out and buy a legitimate license.

slycrane94 said:That isn't MS-DOS, genius, it's just CMD. It looks like MS-DOS, but it's not.

MS-DOS is an operating system, not a command line. Obviously.

The whole argument was about how there's no Word installed, so it's a huge deal and now you have to install stuff?!??!! Why would you even put something on your machine if you don't need it?? Are you trying to act tough or what?

You're right... I'm sure you already knew that.
But for your homework, you're still going to have to read my post about a hundred times...

Look at this genius -->

a it's all the same... don't buy it, get a disc from someone and burn it.😁

You're either full of prejudice or you just hate that "read the manual" attitude.


Hold on! Everyone is jumping the gun. This person is asking for help. If you actually want to be helpful, just recommend where they can find a legitimate source for Microsoft Office.

A friend once told me: "Asking questions won't kill you."
The first step to knowing something is admitting you don't know it. Ignore these show-offs; only an idiot tells someone else they're stupid just because they're learning.

In a sea of cynical posts, someone mentioned needing Microsoft Office, so
if you haven't grabbed it yet, let me know and we'll figure something out.
Also... MS-DOS is ancient history, so you likely don't need it, but if you're curious about what it was:
Type Start > Run and enter "cmd"
There... that's what MS-DOS looked like.
To go deeper into that window, type the command "dir"—that lists the contents of the current directory. To move through directories, use "cd"; for example, "cd .." takes you back to the parent directory.
Just to clarify, "." represents the current directory while ".." is the parent directory. Everything else is just files or other named folders. Use "exit" to leave.
Now that you've seen what MS-DOS looks like, you can brag on the forum 🙂 about having worked in DOS. 👍

Cheers,
