I've been on the interweb ten years. Actually it's a little bit longer than that, but the following is the earliest recorded instance of a stefpost that I can find. Note the uncynicism and politeness of the style, coupled with an inability to understand the use of the Subject: field, and wonder how long that lasted.
I've celebrated with at least 10 hours sleep (and only a few minutes on the the infernal machines) a night, every night this week.

hello, 3 things; 1 I was having trouble with my 16-bit DMA under windows on on AMD 386DX with AMI BIOS but I fixed it by fiddling with the 'Advanced Chipset setup' on the BIOS setup prog. If anyone else is having trouble, try setting the following options; AT Bus clock=SCLK/8 DMA clock select=SCLK I hope this helps someone out there 2 could one of you electronic wizards post a bitmap picture of the circuit for the midibox somewhere cos I can't understand these text versions at all (I think they're getting scrambled along the way) Cheers. 3 (I'm Sorry) Has anyone got X-Wing by LucasArts to work with SBOS without slowing the game down loads? bye Stefan Magdalinski (sunny ol' England)
