Hi jeremy.
Yeah I remember that to.
I'd like to really go back to that point in time.
However I don't have an external synth.
At any rate, I would really like a 386 with 100mb hdd maybe 250, a
floppy drive or cd drive and a synth again.
Sadly though I could play stuff like eamon even with vertual it can't
emulate the entire dos spirit.
You for example didn't have to review the screen hardly.
Now I am always reminded about how vertual I am.
nvda is ok for most things but if I have to switch another program or
use a review curser it detracts from the experience.

Ah the memories. I remember using both GW Basic and Q Basic when I
