Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS in a browser

[Dale E S. <sun...@ju...>]

I learn something new everyday. So its a trail run of an OS without
any risk. I like it. I usually install everything new on a seperate CF
chip.
There isn't anything else present to damage - like windows. My
really important stuff is kept on a dos CF chip way out of the reach of a
virus.
Thanks very much for the explanation.

cheers
DS
