As a programmer, I resemble that remark.

As someone that has used MS Office for decades, it staggers me that "features" that were in Office 2007, are still there in Office 365.

Actually, I remember encountering some of the text formatting eccentricities of MSWord in DOS back in the 1980s that are still more or less manifested in Word today. Gotta give 'em credit for consistency!
After trying Word -- I stuck with WordPerfect for as long as I could -- e.g., writing my thesis using WP (and printing it on an IBM Wheelwriter).
I still miss WP... come to think of it.

Heck, in those days I grew enamored of a simple but (for my purposes) powerful graphics program called Grapher, which I used for years to generate figures for papers and presentations. Heck, I am sure I have a copy on a floppy disk around here someplace!

Oh, speaking of Grapher.
I remember seeing a print ad for it someplace (in some technical rag such as American Laboratory). Imagine my surprise when I saw a testimonal from my thesis advisor in the ad!

I am old enough to know DOS (and C:, and also A:, B: and the struggle with jumpers etc. etc.) since its incipit... but I fail to get this...
I tried various rhymes (including Du Hast from Rammsten, to no avail...)

See DOS - See DOS run - run, DOS, run ? That's my interpretation as a non native speaker.

It's from a children's book:

See Spot.
See Spot Run...

You probably have to have grown up in the Anglo-sphere for that one.

In the the 1950's we learned to read that way. The Count beat me to it.

Thanks mate.
