Hi all!

I thought I'd let you guys know that I used DOSBox in my TED Talk.

The talk is here:

Will most likely get few hundreds of thousands of views.

Yeah, I have the only Windows laptop on the planet with a 5.25" floppy drive.

...actually, I just opened the CD-ROM tray, closed it and at the same time slided the Brain floppy to go below my laptop. That's it. Worked like a charm.
