- Ha! I remember playing Adventure Construction Set w/my friend. He had a
- 1541 and an Indus GT disk drive. The Indus looked much cooler , but it
- ran much hotter. So hot, in fact, that we had to take turns fanning it
- manually with a large plastic lid of some sort in order to continue
- playing the game. :) (Anyone remember waiting half an hour or so for
- ACS to load?)
