We also write in latin and "crippled" latin with English alphabet (lacking ČĆŽĆŠĐ)

I also thought Peter was Russian because of all Russian purchases 😀

Some more stuff I've gathered around me over the last couple of weeks:

- a NOS creative goldfinch card (CT1920) to play with on a rainy day
- a clean example of one of my fave old CD drives (quiet and can do burnt CD's), the NEC CDR-1400A 8X
- a NOS copy of After Dark, yay
- a NOS Disney Sound Source, which was cheap and might be fun to play with on another rainy day (it's winter here ATM)

Oooo flying toasters!!!! That was the hottest screensaver back in the days. What is a CT1920? Just from a visual observation, it looks like a half finished Creative sound card 😀

This is awe32 witout codec, fm and mpu. This addon board for creative sb16 user, that turned almost 100% same as awe32. But required another ISA and sb16-to-ct1920 audio cable.

Flying toasters were well known to be one of the most effective scrubbers for the inside of a CRT. Those fluffy wings were super effective.

Sure, I paid for a few even in the early 2000's to remove nag screens and such. Had one of those aquarium ones, and before that, a slew of Glide/Direct3D ones, a few of which I paid for. 😉
