Ah, yes, the famous "Dos 6" text adventure.  

>TYPE "A:INSTALL"
Your floppy disk hums and spins.  A dialog box appears, saying:

,------------------------------------------,
| Don't you want your hard disk formatted? |
|      ,----------,     ,----------,       |
|      |   Yes    |     |    No    |       |
|      '----------'     '----------'       |
>'------------------------------------------'

>HIT CRTL-ALT-DEL
[Your score goes down 1 point.]
The computer boots from the floppy in your A: drive,
and a dialog box appears saying:

,-------------------------------------------------------------,
| A:\WINDOWS.INI not found, delete all Windows files instead? |
|       ,----------,    ,----------,    ,----------,          |
|       |    OK    |    |   Sure   |    | Go ahead |          |
|       '----------'    '----------'    '----------'          |
'-------------------------------------------------------------'

>EJECT FLOPPY
The floppy drive seems unwilling to let go of the floppy.

>FORCE IT
With a sickening grinding noise, the floppy is ejected.

>HIT CTRL-ALT-DEL
[Your score goes down 1 point.]
The computer reboots.  You are at the C:\> prompt.

>INSERT FLOPPY
You put the floppy back into the drive.

>TYPE "A:CONFIG"
The drive hums for a moment, then a dialog box appears:

,------------------------------------------------,
| Error reading drive A.  Do you want to abort,  |
| retry, or format every available drive?        |
|  ,----------,    ,----------,    ,----------,  |
|  |   Spam   |    |   Spam   |    |   Spam   |  |
|  '----------'    '----------'    '----------'  |
'------------------------------------------------'

Aaaarrrrrgh!
