- Hi ...in case you haven't noticed, have been quiet for some time now ..
- NOMAIL set for last week and unkown time in future. Work has become
- extremely heavy (very little time to play) and made major tactical mistake
- at home.
- In an attempt to get wife a little interested in this whiz-bang PC, showed
- her how to play one of those mind games where if you avoid arrows, falling
- rocks, etc., while trying to collect items, you pass on to the next level.
- Well, must have taken her four hours to figure out how to get out of the
- first level (which, actually is better than I did, because I quit long
- before then). Well, the next level didn't take so long, but some others
- did. She is now at level 10 .. with 15 more to go! So why is she not
- trying right now? She conked out!! Except for brief run to church and
- Shoney's this morning, she has been on this thing nonstop since some time
- early yesterday (also showed her shooting gallery game, which she played
- until she pushed my name off the champion board). Help!! I've created
- a monster addict!! I may never be able to play again on weekends ...alas..
-
- Bye, I'll?drop in again some time ...of course have no time to FTP archives.
- Should not have shown people that list of games I could retrieve (golf and
- bass games? ...not for me! ... gee, I didn't have this problem with my old
- diskless, monochrome, just barely move relic.
-
- Oh, well, off to see if the fax function on this thing really works. Maybe
- I'll read the WINFax manual first .....nah, so much fun to see how
- intuitive software really is.....
-
-
- PS. I love windows!!! ....and may have converted a couple of neighbors...
- especially the one who watched Windows Word Perfect VS his DOS version.
-
- And mice aren't all that bad either.
-
- Don't fuss too much, remember I am NOMAIL and no time to FTP ;-)
-
- Peace,
- Don
