dude...
I dont't know what kind of reseller were you, but I have first hand knowlege about companies paying $25 for M$dos, $15 for DR-DOS & $8 for ROM-DOS.
As for calling me moron... it seems that even M$ considered you a moron since they did not allow you make a buck on M$Dos and went to other resellers.
