🇺🇲 Step back into the pioneering era of computer gaming with Microsoft Adventure, a text-based interactive fiction game that left an indelible mark on the gaming landscape in 1979.
⌨️ Microsoft Adventure was developed by Gordon Letwin of Softwin Associates and drew inspiration from the influential Colossal Cave Adventure. It debuted on platforms like TRS-80 and Apple II, featuring an expansive virtual world with 130 rooms, 15 treasures, 40 objects, and 12 intricate puzzles.
💾 One of the game's standout features was its ability to save progress on diskettes, a revolutionary concept at the time. Players immersed themselves in a rich narrative, navigating through detailed environments and solving complex challenges.
👾 As personal computing gained traction, Microsoft Adventure became one of the inaugural games available for the IBM PC. Its inclusion in IBM's initial software releases underscored its significance in shaping early computer entertainment.
🌟 Despite its text-based format, Microsoft Adventure received acclaim from critics like Carrington Dixon and PC Magazine for its depth and creativity. It set a precedent for interactive storytelling and laid the groundwork for Microsoft's future ventures in gaming.
🕹️ Microsoft Adventure remains a pivotal chapter in gaming history, showcasing Microsoft's innovative spirit and the evolution of interactive entertainment. Rediscover the thrill of classic gaming with Microsoft Adventure—an immersive experience that continues to captivate gamers and historians alike.

In creating his NFT collection, former President Trump seems to have borrowed images from across the internet, including clothing brands on Amazon and Walmart.
On Thursday, Trump began selling his first-ever collection of NFTs, dubbed the “official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection.” The former president released 45,000 of them, each individually priced at $99.
However, journalists noticed that at least some of the images for the NFTs relied on photos of clothing you can buy online. For example, an NFT showing Trump wearing a cowboy outfit seems to be based on a duster jacket from Scully Leather, which is sold on Amazon and Walmart.
Another NFT of Trump wearing a tuxedo borrows imagery of a suit sold on Men’s Warehouse. Meanwhile, a separate NFT incorporated a photo of a $49 Western Sports coat.
Journalist Matthew Sheffield added that other NFTs seem to be based on photos from stock image provider Shutterstock and a news article.
That said, many of the other Trump NFTs are merely the former president standing in the same overall pose, but with slight variations that could include holding up a fist, wearing a hat, or even gripping a basketball.
To produce art for the NFTs, the Trump Organization hired a contract artist named Clark Mitchell, who’s done projects for Star Wars, Disney, Hasbro, along with other NFTs, including for sports athletes. Mitchell didn’t respond to a request for comment, so it’s unclear what process he used to create the Trump NFTs. For now, Mitchell has only tweeted: “This is def a unique day for sure,” after Trump announced the NFTs.
But we wouldn’t be surprised if Mitchell tapped the stock images to help streamline producing hundreds of individual images for the NFT collection. In many cases, the art for the NFTs looks as if Trump’s head has been Photoshopped onto a body.
Critics, including Trump supporters, have already derided the former president for pushing his NFT collection when he's announced plans to run for president again in 2024. But even so, the digital collectibles sold out quickly, according to Trump’s website. About 6% of the NFTs are also being resold on OpenSea, starting at about $180 in Ethereum.

PC Magazine November 13, 2001
A dose of paranoia was delivered with this issue's cover (although nowadays "AOL" might stand out through having faded, and Michael J. Miller's editorial acknowledged the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington as something that hadn't been picked up). There was a considerable article on getting started with Linux, with different distributions described (and a nod towards Red Hat as something "nobody gets fired for using.")

My Comments on PC Mag's Article - 10 Big Reasons Not to Upgrade to Windows 11
In reference to the article “10 Big Reasons Not to Upgrade to Windows 11“
What a piece of crap…!!!! Be careful in what you write on that web site – if you still read it that is…. The web site rejected my two comments, pasted below. We seem to be doomed in NOT being able to say things on more web sites now, such as:

My thinking is that there must be…
