A Funny thing about the first MWave modems: I used to do tech support for a national ISP, and when IBM first released the MWave they had the sound part and the modem sharing an IRQ, so that whenever your computer tried to play a sound when you were online, it would temporarily disconnect the modem to access the sound card. The author's referring to the MWave as "advanced" gave me a little chuckle.

You must realize that the computer has it in for you. The irrefutable proof of this is that the computer always does what you tell it to do.
