In DOS, the command prompt was often referred to as the c: prompt when the current directory was set to the root directory of the C: hard disk partition.

I don't have much information here, mainly because I've made one too many boring homepages in the past.

I can be reached over on Jabber at cprompt@gmail.com. If you're unwilling to use Jabber, then the best way to reach me would be my talk page.

I have an account by the same name on the Simple English Wikipedia, Esperanto Wikipedia, Wikibooks, and Wiktionary.
