Those were the days... I had pretty much every AUTOEXEC.BAT & CONFIG.SYS command memorized. I felt like a wizard! Friends, family or neighbors would call with a problem ( X| ), I'd show up, open those two files, make wholesale tweaks and reboot. Voila! Until they installed the next piece of crappy software and the process repeated. X| x 2.

I remember the sounds in the days Before Sound-Blaster. :rose: I also remember the fun and games tuning AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to get mouse and SB loaded and still have enough ram left to play the game ... I forget how many different boot floppies I had, but it was most of a box.

There's not much in terms of SoundBlaster predecessors, except maybe for the [Adlib](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad\_Lib,\_Inc.). I remember Sierra's magazine used to promote it rather heavily and I spent...well, I don't remember exactly how much, but it was a lot of money even back then for what you got, especially considering I was still in school. It improved their games a lot, but still, in hindsight...eeeek.

Yep. That's why most games used the bleeper, or if you were lucky the PC speaker. X|
