For those of us that have been using PC's since the early 90's, doing the IRQ shuffle was a dance we all had to do to get our modems, soundcards and voodoo cards (when they came out) working. I kinda miss it, made owning a computer a bit of a challenge! Now it's all boring plug and play. Hmph!

It was the primary reason I never had a printer on my current PC. It was just so much easier without losing that space.

Ahh, the good old days, which also included the memory management shuffle to get all your DOS drivers loaded in just the right order without running out of memory (loadhigh/emm386/himem.sys sound familiar?)

I believe I had a 6 digit ICQ#, but it's been so long since I had it I've lost all of that between then and now.

I met a chick from London, thru something called the Globe, before I knew it we were chatting on ICQ and she booked a trip to Honolulu.
After the second day in my house I convinced her that it was a local Polynesian custom for woman to go topless in their home.
Good times  were had by Hyperimiator in the early days of the net.

I remember my compuserve number ended in ,36. We were all numbers. Then I went to my brothers house to check out his new Mac and they had AOL that had some graphics on it! AND they got to pick their own names! So I went and found the DOS version of AOL and loved it!

Wow I've never heard it called that but as soon as I read it I knew EXACTLY what you were talking about.
I remember having a batch file that I would run that would prompt me for what I wanted to play, and it would copy the appropriate autoexec and config.sys files and reboot.
eww.. sad to say, it was W95 that really started the end of THAT bs.
