I was in high school and Turbo Pascal was my favorite language.

If you encountered a bug, and it wasn't in the manual, well, then you're stuck until you think of a workaround.

We had an IPX Novell network at school. We developed a chat application called "The Mad Chatter". And it was so much fun being in a class where a teacher trusted us to work on our pet project.

Ridiculously goofy fun.

I got a demo of it running a few months back with DOSBox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxlie0f7pkE
