Complaining about lack of DOS support is like complaining that Chevron stations no longer carry kerosene to fill up your Stanley Steamer...



Which strikes me as odd, because a modern nuclear sub is a steam engine, and most of the new AIP diesel-electric subs have a steam engine as a submerged battery charger. Btw, the last certified speed run of a steam car was 140mph.

In 1914 the Doble B model could hit 60mph in 14 seconds, 2x as fast as a internal combustion engine, plus it was silent, and had no need of a transmission. It took virtually no time to drive off either, from dead cold it was driveable by the time you got the garage door open. The model E could make 1000ftlbs of torque in 40 sec after starting cold in below zero weather, and 0-75mph in 10 seconds. And not only do a few 100 year-old model E still survive today, they still run, and pass California automobile emissions standards too. Plus, in a pinch, they can be made to run on any liquid or gaseous fuel, whichever is cheapest.

I'd be happy to have one. And happy to keep using dos.
