Me too! No one seems to mention that anymore. Occassionally the world at large needs to be reminded of that. In fact I can remember using CPM on a Z80 based machine (with those awful 5 1/2in floppies) and was surprised at how similar M$DOS was when Gates introduced it Apologies for revealing my age but it gets worse. My first computer was an Acorn machine, the one with the hexadecimal keyboard, a 6502 cpu and 256 bytes of memory!! I still have it somewhere in the attic along with most of my other old computers.)
