Before everyone loved Windows XP, they hated it

It wasn't meant to be this way. Windows XP, now no longer supported, wasn't meant to be popular. For all its popularity and sustained usage, people seem to have forgotten something important about it:...

I stayed with DOS for a few years after Windows was introduced.

I still keep my checkbook in CHEX. CHEX is a DOS pgm and runs in a DOS window in XP. But alas, Win7, 8 and 8.1 will not run a DOS pgm. Even with the emulator.

I need a good Windows checkbook pgm. No, not Quicken.
Have you tried MS Money? It an excellent checkbook program. Nothing really fancy, just a good program.

Personally I loved XP when it came out. But then I'm always attracted to new shiny things. :)
