      If you can format a blank floppy and type at the same time then you can multi-task.

                Anyone got the new 486-DX 66 MHz yet?

                I usually just overclock my 386-33 to about 50 MHz. You should see how fast pacman goes!!

                I even got a 1mb video card, WITH MPG CAPACITY!!!!

                  Geez, those were the days... hacking around in autoexec.bat and config.sys just trying to get the damn mouse working in DOS ;)

                  But Multitasking... oh yeah.. That ALT-TAB trick was a gem when you wanted to hide your damn open porn eh?

                            I remember Concurrent CP/M and Concurrent DOS. Multiuser and Multitasking. Happiest days of my programming life One 286 driving upto 20 EPOS terminals with catalogue lookup monitors + CET's (customer enquiry terminals) + Stock control monitor and managers monitor. Bit dated now of course, but those OS's rocked.

                              I remember I overclocked my first 8088 with a V-20 or X-20 or some goofy chip. I think it pushed that baby boy up to 12 mhz.

                                And these 8" floppies and nice greenscreen terminals and $15K for a 10 gig drive???

                                And.. remember how you have to add "graphics" with loads of "-" and "|"?? Can't beat it!!!
