    IDE master/slave jumpers. Wow am I glad we ditched that.

    4Mb Ram sharing 1mb with the ghetto cirrus video card, and somehow you need to run winsock and Netscape Communicator on it.

    The whole time I’m configuring a customer’s machine and grinding my teeth, they’re saying how great the salesman was who sold this boat-anchor. I’m proud of holding my tongue for the 90 min it took to complete the courtesy job and go back to the shop.

    I may need to start drinking.

      Oh, master/slave was simple compared to the interleaving thing. Honestly, that was so much a pain I’ve forgotten what it was/how to do it.

      I’ll raise a glass for you next time I’m mixing up a drink.
