Very slow. In fact, unless you use a browser like Courier or a full-featured
one with no picture, you'll find it very slow.

mess-dos: /mes-dos/ n. [semi-obsolescent now that DOS is] Derisory term for
MS-DOS. Often followed by the ritual banishing "Just say No!" See MS-DOS.
Most hackers (even many MS-DOS hackers) loathed MS-DOS for its
single-tasking nature, its limits on application size, its nasty primitive
interface, and its ties to IBMness and Microsoftness (see fear and
loathing). Also `mess-loss', `messy-dos', `mess-dog', `mess-dross',
`mush-dos', and various combinations thereof. In Ireland and the U.K. it is
even sometimes called `Domestos' after a brand of toilet cleanser.
