Re: Feeling Old...

Such happy days, each box has the finely honed boot disc inside. Magazines cover discs bursting with utilities that promised to magically maximise available ram but invariably did naff all. And 640k? Luxury! My first PC (an old one I re-purposed form a skip) had 512 and an Amstrad logo.

I do remember the day I got a brand new freshly released SouindBlaster AWE 32 sound card. The hassle the tears getting that set up, and that was before we attached a CD rom to one of the (3?) interface options. Panasonic, Soundbalster and.....? Not IDE but can't recall the third one. Any one remember?
