Unfortunately, among those of us <big collective here> who are most
knowledgable about linux, are the only people who remember what it was
like configuring sound and video (and networks) in the MS-DOS and pre
Windows 98 days. Newcomers don't realize the hell our users used to put
us through! You think you've got it bad now. Pffft! In your dreams!

(waving hand frantically) I did CP/M, MP/M, TurboDOS, Zapple, and a
whole bunch of other S100-based stuff. Goes back to 1974 for me on
that stuff. I still have Volume 1, Issue 1 of ROM (Read Only Magazine)
with the centerfold of a fully-stripped Z80 processor in it.
