Heh heh heh. A friend and I spent several days downloading Doom over 2400
BPS modems when it came out. I split my half up onto 360 KB floppies (all I
could use at the time) and sneakernet'ed it to his house. We were then amazed
that his fairly hefty 16 MHz 286 with four whole megabytes of RAM couldn't run
it.
I still fondly remember playing Duke Nukem and Commander Keen in 16 color
EGA. :-)
