[SOC] "alternate" browsers, e-mail, etc....

Rob, I don't recall if you've ever said what OS you're running.  If you're
running Win 95 or later, there's NO reason in the world to load a mouse
driver and a CD-ROM driver through your autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
There is, however, every reason NOT to.  I'm presuming that "SC" stands for
soundcard?  If so, same thing.

If you're running a bunch of DOS apps which won't run from within Windows,
then you might consider a separate boot disk to load just what you need for
the particular apps you're running.

Let's see, it's HIMEM.SYS in the config.sys file.  What's the syntax?, then
loading the device drivers high.  "DEVICEHIGH=MOUSE.SYS" or something to
that effect.
