Who still uses DOS?

I know many of us do. It's easy to get into certain menus, such as regedit, or do a ping.

Do you find yourself using it otherwise?

 

i use it often..
to format , delete files , recover the pc from virus , regedit , ping ,etc ,etc

 

I still use it all the time. I'm a systems administrator by trade so I use it all the time to ping, access directories, etc. almost everyday. Can't say that I like DOS much, but when I have no other choice I'll still use it to get the job done....

 

Yes, DOS still has it's use...just like the linux console

The GUI is nothing but frontend to the console...

 

I also still use DOS. I think we should not forget it. It is the basic system, what if your computer suddenly crashed and you have to manually recover the files.

 

I also still use DOS Yes, but not often. as windows is alot more easy

 

of course I still use it on small occasions. doing pings mostly but still for traceroutes and other small things

 

I do agree ... And I too use it often ... after all I am from the days of Good-Old-Dos (GOD).

 

I used DOS all the time when using ping, tracert or sometime using may apache on window platform .

 

Same here .....

 

i don't know why.. but i love DOS !

 

It does have many benefits, doesn't it?

 

maybe it is just a habbit but i do tend to go to command line interfaces

 

I think its probably an age/experience thing, ie. all of us that are say 25+ who have been using pc's since we were kids, grew up with DOS.

If you were 17 NOW I imagine that good 'ol dos would be far less relevant.




and yes, I am firmly in the 25+ agebracket, so I not only use DOS daily, but still even have old 386's, Amiga's, C64's and ZX81's knocking about!!

 

i use it for ipconfig and for renaming files sometimes

 

I use DOS every time I want to format my disk

 

I use it sometimes for pings... to check my connection...

 

Yes I use dos to run

tracert, ipconfig, ping etc etc

i think i haven't used DOS since XP was launched, so.. that's from 2001 i think. i was using it to format my hard-disk's partitions and i've had those great Boot CDs... old times

 

Same here, other then that, never see it...
