What More Could a PC World Reader Want?
Early in the game, we were pretty sure we were on to something with this whole DOS thing. In 1983, our third issue's cover story was an "Exclusive Hands-On" with DOS 2.0, in which we informed readers that "each group of related files is called a directory." The important Create Directory (MKDIR) and Delete Directory (RMDIR) commands also were unveiled. In our story on IBM's hot corporate XT system, we pointed out that the IBM monogram was now embossed on the front of both the floppy and hard drives (Wow!), and a much-needed article on "How Self-Training Cures Computerphobia" rounded out the issue. 'Nuff said. (Here's the scoop on PC World's Save DOS campaign.)
