At the risk of going off-topic (Linux and 90's/00= 's) I'll play too:
1)remembering to set ftp type to binar= y (that one bit me more than once, at least)
2)learning what = a "winmodem" is and avoiding it like the plague!
3)Spli= tting a partition with FIPS
4)Writing an image to floppy
5)doing anything at all with a floppy, come to think of it
= 6)Setting jumpers on sound cards and drives
7)learning how to con= figure XFree86 so that it doesn't blow out your monitor! (never happene= d to me, but I remember the scary warnings about it: https://www.xfree86.org/4.0.3/chips7.html )
