C prompt

Semi-erroneous name for a command prompt in Windows.

Near as I can tell, it derives from DOS, where one would generally boot from their primary hard disk (invariably called the C Drive and be presented with a prompt that looked like "C:\>", indicating the drive they were on and their location in the directory tree.

Considered fairly obsolete, even amongst old DOS hats.
OK, now type 'dir' on the C prompt....

Hym "But no! You had to try and force it on me and now my phone is frozen! I can't read the article anymore and I have to close my app. Which means it's going to refresh my page! Which means I now have to go find your shitty article. Which I'm not going to do."
