A friend reminded me the other day that I should post something about how I was interviewed for public television last year. [In the U.S., we have regular commercial television, but also "public television" that is supported in part by direct contributions by viewers.]
Unfortunately, I wasn't interviewed about FreeDOS. Instead, I was asked to be a guest expert on technology. Specifically, the show topic was "When Technology Fails" and discussed what happens when IT doesn't work the way it's supposed to, and how you can prepare yourself with backups and such.
So, if you've ever wanted to see me in person, go watch the episode. I was the second of 2 guests, so I appear at about 15 minutes into the show.

About Me
- Jim Hall
- I'm Jim Hall, the founder and Project Coordinator for the FreeDOS Project. I started FreeDOS in 1994, when I was an undergraduate physics student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Other developers got in touch with me, and we began work creating our own version of DOS that would be compatible with MS-DOS. I shared the extended DOS utilities that I had written for myself, as did others. We also found public domain or open source programs that replaced other DOS commands. A few months later, we released our first FreeDOS “Alpha” distribution. And from there, FreeDOS grew into what you see today!
