So I legit used Desqview first on MS-DOS 3.33 with my Telegard BBS - I couldn't believe that I could use my computer again, while having callers!!! Most of the time, it worked OK.

Fast forward to Desqview/X, that was a SOLID release - I started thinking of it AS an OS... and it served me well as I 'upgraded' to Renegade. 

This was right around the time I was drooling over Synchronet... I still remember the $299 adverts in the BBS magazines and thinking that I might just be able to get on 'corporate quality' BBS softwarez. :P

I downloaded Sync the next month... at 2400 bps. UGH.
