So talking with my boss and I explained how I've tried different OS's through the few years I have been working with computers. He tells me about another system we used to have in which they use multiuser Dos.
I told him how I'm sure ill never use it but id love to give them a read... wellThen hands me a brand new multiuser dos book ( 3 books total, all still packaged) and says " It's your lucky day. It's brand new and we dont use it any more."
ROFL! What were the book titles? (or better yet, just send us a pic).

Not a good use of your time. SO many better things out there to read.

Back to waiting on VMware support. Called their support line to talk with an "engineer" and was told that I would be called back. I was never called back. Not too particularly happy right now.

@dbeato Or you're having one hell of a day. . . if it was O365 you could simply say "Already working on it".

Well, it is just so many requests... the Office 365 emails I told them that is what I am working on it. I don't work for one company so I cannot say that I am already working on it to different customers.

I have a friend with a GoFundMe because she is out of work and has no transportation. She lives in rural Oregon so a car is important (until self driving cars, ride sharing, and GBI fix the situation). If anyone has a dollar that they'd like to spare, I've provided the link.

Lots. If you are interested in operating systems, for example, start reading about Linux, BSD, or even Windows. Diving into old, obscure DOS knock offs isn't useful in comparison to things that have survived and are used today. Interesting historically, but some of the least useful uses of your time.
There are SO many good books, magazines, forums (cough cough) and so forth about current, useful OSes, networking, databases, apps, etc. that you could be reading. Go for those. When those are exhausted, THEN reading about how DOS 7 or Netware 5 did things might be a little interesting to see 'where we came from'.
