I was watching tv just now and saw a commercial for Swifter dust mops. The commercial showed the dust mop head going across various surfaces, including a computer monitor. Although the resolution was not great, the screen was almost certainly showing the DOSBox startup text screen. Has anyone else noticed this?

I saw a posting somewhere about this. With a screen shot,

i admire that duster, since he didn't even register and whine on the forums on how to use dosbox and mount a drive (in which he magically does by banging the keyboard). there's a brain in those feathers

Yeah, I saw it while watching Stephen King's Desperation last night. The woman's old duster was chatting with her via a video chat. She exited to "DOS" but it was definitely DOSBox. I also could not find a video link and have been looking all morning. 😀
