"install CD'
Oh, my sweet summer child ...
Wait until they hear about the install case sets of 5.25" floppies.
And then going home and praying it didn't stall overnight.
When hacking write protect involved Scotch tape.
But why does DOS 3 need more than one 5.25" disk? Too much bloat if you ask me!
Yeah I've been thinking about just getting a CD drive on my desktop installed because it just feels weird not having one
I bought my first laptop that doesn't have an optical drive last fall. I haven't missed it...yet.
It also doesn't have an ethernet port, so I bought a usb ethernet adapter for it. I'm not ready to let go of that. (And I often find myself diagnosing network issues, so I do need it occasionally.)
I live in an ETHERNET ONLY HOUSEHOLD
(Also wireless still sucks for gigabit)
