-	It is somewhat of a running gag in [[Strong Bad Email]] for [[Strong Bad]]'s computer to run ~~the~~ '''[[Wikipedia:DOS\|DOS]] operating system'''. All of Strong Bad's computers (excluding the [[Compé]], which uses a graphical interface) appear to have DOS preinstalled, and include the program "strongbad_email.exe". On the [[Compy 386]], this command was stored in an unnamed drive that was accessed by the command "dir/p". Strong Bad using DOS follows his preference for [[Strong Bad's Technology\|old technology]].	+	It is somewhat of a running gag in [[Strong Bad Email]] for [[Strong Bad]]'s computer to run '''[[Wikipedia:DOS\|DOS]]''', which stands for '''disk operating system'''. All of Strong Bad's computers (excluding the [[Compé]], which uses a graphical interface) appear to have DOS preinstalled, and include the program "strongbad_email.exe". On the [[Compy 386]], this command was stored in an unnamed drive that was accessed by the command "dir/p".

	Note that while Strong Bad's operating system is definitely inspired by DOS, it can't be DOS itself. Even though DOS has an 8 character filename limit, Strong Bad is able to type commands as long as "strongbad_email.exe", which is obviously longer than that. He is also able to insert normally off-limits characters in a file name such as "'" or the space character in the file "strongbad's email.exe". If this filename were typed in a DOS based command-line, the computer would return that "strongbad's" is not a command.
