1. Insert disk (as always)
2. A:
3. DIR.EXE
4. Type in the name of the exe
Precise commands were often printed on the label. Having to manually figure out a correct SET BLASTER command was rare but sound cards came with a useful manual to keep you going. No one seemed too bothered by the lack of a GUI. Now people ask me if they should click the left or right mouse button all the time and I have to tell them to single-click hyperlinks and buttons. Heck, some don't even see them until I point them out. Does a GUI really enable them to use a computer more easily or would they more easily adjust to a written language akin to commandeering a dog?
