Well, back in the very early 90s, my grandmother had a 286 with about 4 Megs of hard drive space and a small amount of Ram (probably 2 megs).
I had copied Jet Fighter 2 from a buddy at school onto 3 floppies and wanted to play it on that machine. Well, it kept having an error about not enough memory. At the time I didn't really know much about computers but I had learned my share of DOS commands. I used the backup command to take her copy of Word Perfect off the machine and back it up on 15-20 floppy disks or something. I thought the problem was disk space. Anyhow, when I had erased WP and still had the problem.. that's when I said: "Doh". I restored the copy and she never knew until years later I had done that. I later figured out how to unload some memory resident stuff and it worked :) /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
