Just about any MS-DOS user who gets into the incredible TSR shuffle, has to
hook into a network,and so on. Anything that requires asynchronous processing
on MS/DOS is guaranteed to crash you far too often. And the Mac is just as
bad.

Power users, in short. The guys who tend to be the biggest MS-DOS apologists.

It is broke. What order *do* you load Sidekick and DoubleDOS? I never quite
decided which set of bugs I was happiest with.
