                  Check out the Q&A from the last week or so. There is someone in there doing development in MS-DOS and can't seem to be able to find various pieces of software that will work with it. Apparently he found a functional floppy disk drive though.

                              I'm old enough to remember seeing the original "[Lee Iacocca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee\_Iacocca) is an autoexec" being used in signatures. (for a timeframe reference, he retired in 1992).

                                  Double fun for me since (1) I'm old enough to get the joke and (2) my house is old, so we get bats inside(*) late every summer. (*) They sneak in via our screened-in porch. I get to catch them and release them outside, usually at 2:00 a.m. after being woke up by SWMBO.
