DOOM up and running!

Today I fixed the sound problem. It took a LOT of hunting around to find that one little soft-switch that needed to be turned off, but in the meantime, I got a nice refresher on the system. Of course the only reason I was worried about the sound was so that I could play DOOM again! Hey Jim, remember this?

I actually got to bring out my old Ultimate Doom CD because while the game software (Vavoom) is free, being a port (Computer Science. To modify (software) for use on a different machine or platform) of the original program, the wadfiles are still protected by copyright.

One new feature I've found to be very helpful is the Tomboy Notes program. As I went through each possibility that came to mind, eliminating them one by one, I'd keep a note about it. This kept me from repeating mistakes, and helped me keep focused on the next possible problem.
