(ICM said) "LOL, a 286? That's funny, in the mid to late 80's I remember when my brother got his 286...I was envious as hell. I was self taught on an 8086 with a 10meg hard drive & something like 8 megs of ram. I used to create dos based ascii menus for friends using batch programming. I thought that was the bomb. Also would log onto "Bulletin Boards" to check out what they had for code programs & games. My 9.4 modem was pretty fast but that new 14.4 cruised." Ahhhh..I had one of them Bulletin Boards up and running on a 8086 way back then. "StarPort BBS" was it's moniker, outta Huntington Beach, CA. Gosh weren't those the good old days. No Microshit stuff...just plain dependable PC-DOS. sigh
