I remember a Star Trek game from college, played on the Mainframe...;) there was also Dukedom, where you had to conquer territory while preventing your people from starving..;) Also something called 'Lunar Lander', where you had to enter correct thrust and fuel usage or...'you just crashed a 29-megabuck lander!'...;)

Now I had  a teacher in Computer courses who programmed computers using a sort of switchboard block of plastic; you took wires and plugged them from hole to hole, and when entered back into the Mainframe, would actually do things...;)  I saw one of the original 'luggables' back in 77, in computer class. Size of a server, with about a 6" monochrome, text only screen..;)

Now what's even scarier, is that I'm in my 20th year of PC support. I used to fix the original Compaq, the IBM PC, HP Laserjet 1, and so on...;) Long way to Print Operator on the network, but I have to admit new stuff is easier to fix..;)

So Linux runs the old games, eh? sounds interesting. Now if I could just find another PC, and a  copy of Redhat 9 I downloaded...;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
