        So do you want EMS or XMS this time? I’m sorry, you had too many TSRs, you can’t run X-Wing now…

          Damn, should I load the mouse driver or the CD-ROM driver? If I load both, I can’t run strike commander!

      With dos 5.x I started creating some fancy auroexec menu at boot that switches between several configurations depending if I wanted to run windows, need a lot of xms or a big chunk of Ems (640k was NOT enough for everything).

      It was somehow fun.

      But at least, if something is not working, it was entirely your fault. Now? It’s probably windows update who fucked up something you desperately need right now.
