MPW, very expensive?  I should say not.  Just bought 3.01 for $125. thru
APDA.

Oh, hmmm, maybe in DOS 4.01.  But prior DOS's still have the 32MB DOS
partition limit.  And there is still a 640K limit on 'real' memory.

Spoken like a true ignoramus.  

I'd say the best 'improvement' to a PC (Clone) is (was) Unix.  DOS is(was)
the OS of the 70's.  Unix is the OS of the 80's.  The Finder is the OS of
the future, here today.
