SCSI was where it was at. In 1994-95 I had a 1x cd scsi drive connected through a proaudio spectrum 16 sound card. It would keep up with the 4x IDE models in their day. By 97' all of it ended up in a 486/120Mhz with 32MB of ram, VESA local bus graphics card, 14.4 modem that made one smooth running multiplayer Doom playing machine.

Used to play a lot of Doom. I bought ver 1 on floppy.. A buddy bought the beta version .666 on floppy. I played it on his system then rushed out about bought ver 1. Seems I got it at Fry's Electronics in San Jose. Fry's was the 'everything pc' store on the west coast back then. The whole bay area was the new silicone valley by the early 90's. I worked in south san fransisco. Seems everybody and their brother had a T-1 phone connection and server in their garage. 🤣

I hear he's actually going back, knee-pads and Chapstick in hand! Let's see if he still dresses like a Gopknik.
Gods... Gopnick- what a f*ed up name. Is that Russian for trailer trash? I'm betting it's close!

Let's try Wikipedia.
Gopnick:
The collective noun is gopota (Russian: гопота). The subculture of gopota has its roots in working-class communities in the late Russian Empire and gradually emerged underground during the later half of the 20th century in many cities in the Soviet Union.[3][4] Even before their heyday in the 1990s following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the associated rise in poverty, there was a "gopnik" movement in the Soviet Union. Young men from working class areas rebelled against neformaly (non-conformists) and harassed the lovers of Western music, which had become popular in the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
