Very nice! Was there a reason your school gave out Slackware installer floppies? Was it required for a class? Or through a student organization? And if you recall, were you running a Creative SoundBlaster? Ad Lib? Gravis ultrasound?
- aynyc 3y agoOne of the professors were giving them out. Not a class requirement as we all had school Unix login. Remember pine? I don’t remember the sound card anymore. It was pentium and expensive as hell. Spent all my money earned during summer construction. Like $2K. I might be mistaken, I think I had a CD rom instead of floppies.
- mattl 3y agoMaybe a boot floppy and then a CD? Pine finally dropped the weird custom license and became Alpine which I used a few days ago to read my panix.com email
- pjmlp 3y agoI surely do remeber pine, using it from ambar and green phosphor terminals to check on mails from our lab assignments, which were mostly the only use I had for emails at the time.
