Totally Kewl, dood.....

That's what the sidewalk art of Julian Beever is. It has to be seen to believed; I mean it; I didn't believe it myself when I looked at some of the works. Check it out Here.

I found the link at User Friendly's Websites' "Link of the day".

On a More Practical Note....

Now that Norton 2007 programs have been released, Deal's abound on the 2006 products. While I am not a real big fan of Norton's, mainly because their 2004 products which totally sucked, I will admit that their programs now are totally acceptable. And at the shop, we sell and install Norton 3 times more often than their nearest competitor.

Something just bugs me about a company that has to issue special programs every year to "uninstall their products" when normal installation and uninstall don't work.

Personally I think most people would do as well with the free version of "AVG Anti-Virus", and the free version of "Zone Alarm". But that's just me.

Wasting Time Playing Games Part 1

Back in the days of the IBM AT, when I was still running an 8086, because 286 machines were too expensive, Microprose released a little game called "F19 Stealth Fighter". I spent hours playing this game; when 386's came out and I took out a loan to buy one (Only $1500.00) the game got really good, since I could turn all the enhancements on, play it in VGA, and the game play was incredibly smooth.

Well, rooting through some old boxes, I found a copy of it on a 3 1/2 disk, I had made. I hadn't played it in years, as I only had the original disks, 3 ea 5 1/4 360K floppies. So I whipped it out, and found it played just fine in DOS Box, complete with adlib sound.

And now I am trying to get back my skills on the game, as I used to play it with dificulties and missions maxed out to 10. Now I can't even do a friggin landing, even though they have ILS and landing set to easy!

This game is freely available on "Abandon Ware" sites. If you decide you want to give it a try, and the version you get doesn't have the AdLib Sound Drivers, drop me some email, and I will get them to you.
