I use a MAC. It uses UNIX for its operating system instead of MS DOS. A number of older computers used CP/M. Some computers use LINUX. In fact many nations or bureaus, education departments, states, or provinces require LINUX instead of MS DOS. LINUX has many similarities to UNIX and almost UNIX all programs will run on LINUX straight out of the box. A number of MS DOS programs will also run on LINUX.
