Windows 7 and Server 2008 end of support: What will change on 14 January?

Am I the last one running DOS apps?

I'm welded to Win-7 for its ability to run my stable of DOS-based custom database applications.

I see no references to the fact that 32-bit Win-7 is the last MS-windows product able to run DOS-based applications. Am I really the last person left using DOS applications? Is there a DOS emulator that will run under Windoze 10 when Win-7 becomes totally unviable?

Or will I have to bring out my big 5-1/4" 3.3 floppy?

Ten... wireless keyboards

124-key wireless kb's?

I'm using a Maxi-Switch 124-key model - has a double-set of function keys - across the top but also down the left-hand side like in days of olde. Also 5 programmable keys and four more for accessing other special features.

Anyone know of a company still making such a keyboard? Mine's nearing 20 years and I'd like to find a backup for it's eventual demise.
