Desqview, swapping between GoldEd and the BBS watching the users playing LoRD and other games. And before that, scrambling to quit my game and get the BBS back up when I was using my 286 for gaming instead of leaving the BBS running.
Those terrible, terrible CGA games that I played because for a couple years, I only had CGA and no EGA. The high pitched whine of the CGA monitor whenever I stood behind it.
When I finally got OS/2, and could play Descent or Doom, while the BBS was handling a phone call in the background.
Even older, printing out yet another Bill the Cat on my dot matrix printer.
Typing in games from Compute Magazine into my Atari 130xe, but the checksum being wrong because I used abbreviated basic commands due to being a lazy typist.
Getting killed by that darn Terminator in Zone 2 of LOD again...
Going to my Uncle's house to transfer all of Kings Quest 6 from 1.44mb to 1.2mb floppies.
