DOS killer app: Scrabble

Last week we marveled that a noticeable number of people are still using Windows 95. But one person, at least, has found a good reason to continue using the even older Disk Operating System. The reason? A Scrabble computer game. But he's finding that it's not easy. See today's Tech Q&A in the Miami Herald.

For the record, that's two DOS posts in a row. Maybe I'm on to something here. Time for a DOS comeback?
