Slightly off-topic, but the original Sound Blaster came with a piece of software called Dr. Sbaitso. It was the first chat bot I interacted with and you could ask him to say swear words and stuff. I had so much fun with that program.

I named a chatbot I wrote for work after him :)

I remember that fondly. We spent many a night chatting away at Dr Sbaitso only to get a vague but sometimes snarky response on a blue screen with yellow text.. if my memory doesn’t fail me? Also SB pro came with a few more tidbits, one of them was the nutcracker demo and a parrot app, breathtaking at the time too.

Heh, I had forgotten that already. I had so much fun with Dr. Sbaitso in the early 90s when I bought my first sound card, SB Pro 2.0. After all these years I can still remember the introduction lines word-by-word. Scary..

I have a working copy of Dr Sbaitso. I was showing it to my kids afew years ago... Good times.
