MS-DOS is 30 years old today | ExtremeTech

Starting MS-DOS...
Happy Birthday DOS! We've spent some wonderful times together.

I have a funny story relating to DOS. A customer brought me her computer and said it was broken. I opened up the "homemade" computer and checked all the parts. After verifying all components were operable, I plugged in the keyboard, mouse, and monitor and fired it up. Up comes my friendly C:\> prompt. The only problem she had was that DOS was it's operating system and not Windows and she had no idea how to use it.
