not only did you mention ansi, but aslo mci codes?!

man, those were the days. Who remembers looking all around for the NUP of the newest iCE/ACiD/MiRAGE/RAZORi9ii/iNC/ThG/ETC Board just so you could apply and hopefully be voted on? i remember i had a mean pc xt 8088,with a huge 32meg hard drive, cga monitor, 3.5 and 5.25 1.22 meg floppies , 640k ram , and a 1200 bps modem (my next computer had the legendary 14.4). I always liked the telegard,renegade boards. MBBS was fun for chating, i thought wild cat sucked (sorry).

and thats not even mentioning the p(both private and public, lol)bx's, and other things both real and fake (rainbow box!?).

sorry just remembering, its nice to see htat there are people that remember at least this era if not the same details. DOS seperated the men from the mice, now computer and the internet is an open forum, as it should be i guess.
