Hi Charles, Yeah, I remember the 5.25 floppy discs real well. What I remember most is they were big, actually floppy, and could only hold something like 720K at most. Sounds laughable now that technology has progressed to the point where they have 64 GB flash cards that is only a couple of inches across and a couple of inches wide that slips into a card reader on the front of your laptop. Assuming of course you have anew laptop with built-in card reader.
At any rate I can pretty much install and run all of my favorite audio games on one of those flash cards, and run them on any PC that has the necessary dependencies. We have come a long ways since the days of the 5.25 inch floppy discs. On 10/19/14, Charles Rivard <wee1s...@fidnet.com> wrote: > The first game I encountered was not one made for the blind.
