Back in the old days of Dos v.1+ Some do still work on W7 and XP there was a command, no not DEL but Eraze. By entering the erase command followed by the 'wild card' *.* would wipe the disk, they were floppies in those days no HD in sight. To boot up one had to insert the boot up disc then other software discs for applications such as games and w/p software. Happy times, no internet no virus.

Oh how I miss my Olivetti Prodest PC1 Much better than the Amstrad 1512 bring back Wordstar for w/p simple with spell checker and 8pin dot matrix printers err maybe not.
