...these magic red lights in the dark, when parents already in dreamland.

The phone line was glowing, my heart was pumping and chats where outer-space-like in the boxes.

Good old times - even the torture I had to accept afterwards cs of the phone bill...dish washing, gardening and cleaning bathrooms.

F**'it - It was worth the pain, and of course...Ups, I did it again §8-)

I do believe Windows 98 was the last version of Windows still available on floppy disks. A complete set includes 38 (!) 1.680K DMF format diskettes. Holy cow! 😉

AppleSauce is a pretty handy tool for working with oldschool floppy disk images on a Mac. 😉

A 386 at 25MHz and 4MB RAM is the perfect system for playing the original Wing Commander. The game was super sensitive to the CPU speed and often ran way too fast on modern CPUs... like a 486DX! 😂

I've found that being coiled around a big dragon's neck like a scarf is very cozy and convenient!

Earlier tonight, I was searching the web for the official Compaq diagnostics disk to add a Compaq Deskpro 386/25 to my collection of 86Box virtual machines. This machine's from the late 80s and it does not have anything like a BIOS settings menu, but instead uses a bootable floppy disk instead.

Great success! I did not only find working disk images, but I even managed to download the original files from Compaq to create these disks in the first place. In both 3.5" and 5.25" versions! The files are named "SP0308.EXE" and "SP0316.EXE".

I'm reallly grateful to the community for preserving these files! 😃
