I was literally the person that just wanted to play Ultima (Underworld). But when things didn't work because the sound card didn't have the right jumper settings, or there wasn't enough free ram, or I just didn't understand how to start the game up in the most optimized way, I had to figure that stuff out, without the internet. Ultima jump started my IT career.
