I was going to make a post on unpopular opinions saying comic sans is not as bad as people make it out to be and can be useful in some cases since it is easier to read. But decided not to because I wasnt sure kbin/lemmy felt about it.

I used it for its true purpose back in the day, for Microsoft Comic Chat.

It's like almost nobody remembers that ... that's a thing that existed.

We tend to suppress traumatic memories, like freeing up lower ram with himem.sys and friends to load Novell NetWare network drivers.

Dear God, it's all coming back to me! 😭

I remember figuring out a 10-Base-T network to get LAN Quake running, and dealing with Himem.sys and things like Sound cards needing to be put on IRQ 11 or IRQ 13 because they wouldn't work anywhere else.

Yep, we're officially old.
