I don’t know what any of this means but I’m having flashbacks of playing Warcraft II on our Tandy.

Too bad there’s no 32-bit version of Fuji Golf :(

I spent my childhood crashing our home PC by editing the autoexec.bat and config.sys files trying to”optimize” it. Brings back memories.

I have a DOS 6 manual somewhere, though I’ve just realized I can’t find it (was going to take a picture).

Yup hard to believe I was only 6 or 7 at the time. Computers still seemed like a novelty item at the time.

I need to fire up my 5155 and get the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS off of it.

629k free conventional on an XT, IIRC. And that’s with a packet mux and a NFS client running.

impressive, especially for such an old system!

Sorry about the lag, need to go to Circuit City for a new VESA video card.

Of course, I am cheating quite a bit - with CGA, I can go up to 736k conventional. ;)

Ah, the simpler life. Rolling fields, sweet-smelling air, the advent of DSL, and the holy combo of Counter Strike 1.6 and NFS Underground 1 if you’re lucky.

And here I am, staring longingly at a page in some Dell brochure.

Just Php60,000+ for their best desktop with i7-7700 and GTX 750Ti. That’s US$1250 and I’ve got myself a mid-tier that can run every game I want to play, plus LDD and Blender, and a whole host of other shit I’ve yet to do because I haven’t experienced that much power before.

those specs are pretty pedestrian actually
