They say that a measure of success is to make your bank account balance look like a phone number. I have arrived. I checked this morning and my balance is $9.11

The original version of Starcraft I think is available for free if you are still interested. And at least the version I downloaded works well in Win10, too.

Also, here are the rules for Calvinball.

Been playing an old old game recently called :World of Xeen" And also playing "Heroes of Might and magic 3" Both are dos based and close to 25 years old. The first mentioned is an rpg the second a strategy game. Both run fine under win 10 with Dosbox. There is another website if you like real old games. It is called Abandonia. It has games from a long time ago and all are free. It's Abandonia.com if you want to go see for yourself if they have any old favorites. I do believe they also include dosbox routines with the games downloaded.

Wow, used to play HoMM3 for almost 10 years. What a great game, always on custom maps, always at impossible level. There's expansion called " Wake of gods" also very good.

Here's the "Evil Overlord checklist". There are links to a variety of short stories about changing a light bulb in Star Trek there as well.
Also,why hydrogen powered engines can be dodgy.
And finally, they call it a jetpack race while it is really just a couple of guys flying around using jetpacks.
I'd like my flying car now.
As always, open the links at your own peril.
Third shift is fine for me, but I doubt it would work even a little bit for working on copiers. I should be on my merry way, I guess.

Thanks for that list Iowa, quite a few interesting ideas that I shall be implementing in the coming year as there is no point in being Senior Tech if you cant make the underlings quake in fright.
