That's fine. I was just curious. I wasn't trying to change your mind about 
anything. I was just wondering what part of the definition you were 
contesting. :-)

I know there are a bunch of people who don't count something like MS-DOS as 
a "real" operating system. I was just curious what feature it was missing 
that you thought was necessary.

I have no problem with that. As I said, feel free not to follow up. I just 
felt like rambling. Every once in a while, I try to structure a bunch of 
thoughts and write them down, just to keep in practice.

Again, that's fine. I was just looking at the definition on Wiki, and 
stretching my brain. As I said, feel free not to follow up. I'm not arguing 
with you. I'm just expressing opinions.  Sometimes I get in the mood to talk 
about something nobody else is interested in also. :-)
