I have a suggested topic...  "How to bootstrap files to a DOS machine."

It was almost covered in January on the thread "Importing binary files 
without removable storage nor non-bundledsoftware".  Someone asked me 
for this today and I didn't have it at my fingertips.  They had a 
cast-off laptop whose floppy didn't work, so they wanted to bootstrap 
more files to it over the serial port.

I recommended 
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/commprog/msk-rcv.bas

Although these days, you need to teach the twenty-sometimes
what Kermit is.  Sigh.
