I upgraded to Windows 10 64 bit and didn't know that there were options so
that I could still run 16 bit dos doors.  A lot of people don't know that
they've got VMs or NTVDMx64 as an option.  I didn't find out until about 6
years later after I threw away my backup.  Yeah, I learned my lesson and am
not going to go that route again.  It took a while for me to get everything
back the way I wanted it.  Now I've got a triple redundant backup, with 1
offsite.  A lot of people don't back up their data and I'm not falling into
that trap again.
