As a member of Gen-X, I get nothing out of retro Windows machines. And though I was an expert on IRQ, config.sys, etc back in the day I would not want to return to those bad old days.

Give me an old Commodore though and that’s a good time!

For me, DOS was a great learning experience. First I learned to master most of it's intricacies. Then I learned how quickly knowledge like that can get obsolete. I admit the first part was considerably more fun.

Ahhh..... I remember as kid, that I was pretty expert on fine tunning autoexec.bat and config.sys to get the max amount of conventional ram

That too, but I was thinking more along the lines of building TSR programmes and diving into the DOS system programming interna.
