Not gonna lie, part of me wants to relive the SoundBlaster and DOS extenders era and watch stuff with QuickTime. Tinkering with config.sys and autoexec.bat was quite fun back then.
Was it really FUN or is it not just nostalgia? I would not reaaaally want to fiddle with the autostart-crap again. It often took soooo long. Even with those auto-optimizers...
I am so happy not to have to mess with that. LOADHIGH agony.
So do you want EMS or XMS this time? I'm sorry, you had too many TSRs, you can't run X-Wing now...
Damn, should I load the mouse driver or the CD-ROM driver? If I load both, I can't run strike commander!
Aye. But then again... The fiddling with windows to make it do what u want and don't what you don't, is not much less time wasted. You can just use a mouse now 😂
