Sierra Adventure Games

I really liked those >games. Yup, I have a copy for the Apple II. But I only have the one disk, so I only have the two girls that come with it. I never found other disks, but I seem to recall an option to insert disks of other girls. I also remember being a horny kid and taking photos of the screen after I beat the girls. Then forgot about it, sent the film in to be developed. I picked it up one afternoon with my father, and the guy at the lab said there was no charge because none of the pictures came out. My father and I sat in the car looking at the negatives trying to figure out what they were, when I realized what it was I was looking at and freaked. Nothing like trying to convince your father to stop analyzing them before he too figures out what it is he is looking at. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

OT: RoadRunner Blacklisted, Blocking Bounce Messages!

GRRR! The class action suit should of course be against the blockers. We really need a law that guarantees penalties for spamblockers 10 times greater than those for spammers. If you send spam, you get 1 year in prison. If you assault an open relay operator, mangle E-mail addresses, or do anything else to desecrate the Classic Computing tradition, you should get 10 years in prison. If a spammer gets 5 years in prison, spamblockers must get 50 years. -- Michael Sokolov Programletarian Freedom Fighter International Free Computing Task Force Let the Source be with you Programletarians of the world, unite!

Digital DNAS CD request & CD list

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

Adrian, Jesus! Nice collection! ;) You're no doubt going to be swamped with "me too!" requests, but.. are you willing to make copies available? I am doing a major DEC software repository here, to which people have access (on an ask- first basis, legal issues and such..) so it doesnt get lost. Space is not an issue (the current array is 5x180G) and neither is bandwidth. If we can work something out (like you making ISO image copies of the CD, and making TDF dumps of the tapes) we can either ftp them over, or i can pay for you shipping a tape with em...

Cool external FD by Nintendo

by jrkeys＠concentric.net

Today at the thrift I found a red case/black face/yellow button external 3.5 FD by Nintendo model HVC-022. Most of the writing on it is in Japanese. It was missing the ac adapter and cable. Copyright date on it is 1985. Anyone else have one of these?

Ada (was Re: Columbia)

Indeed, Computer Science at York does quite a lot of teaching in Ada on Windows. I don't know if they still do, but they used to let students in practical classes use either Linux or Windows, because Ada was one of the few things that works exactly hte same under either -- except, in our setup, for network bandwidth. The Ada classes (using Windows) were responsible for my having to upgrade the classroom links. > One thing about Ada that I found rather interesting was mention of an > OS written in Great Britain in the early 80's.

They certainly wrote a compiler and an environment to support it. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
