Game of DOS

Game of Thrones author George RR Martin has explained why he does all his writing on an obsolete disk operating system (DOS) computer - because it does not correct his spelling. He said he did not want a modern PC that amended his writing as he typed, and that he hated spell-checking programmes because they were unlikely to recognise a lot of the words in a fantasy novel (e.g. Dothraki or Daenerys Targaryen). The writer of the books on which the TV series is based first revealed he used the archaic system in 2011, explaining: "I actually like it - it does what I want a word-processing programme to do and it doesn't do anything else. I don't want any help, you know? I hate some of these modern systems where you type a lower case letter and it becomes a capital. I don't want a capital. If I'd wanted a capital, I'd have typed a capital. I know how to work the shift key. Stop fixing it." But how can he browse the Internet on that? He doesn't. He actually has a second machine to do Internet, email, and taxes on. Let's hope that one's the latest model.
