I remember when discs got big enough that we could have windows 3.1 installed as well as a current tech game

I will not miss setting up interrupts for cards, I will not miss setting up extended memory

Though all that would have been easier were I older. I was in my 20s when Linux became available and the early experience with DOS had me happy to dive right into that
