[plug] Slightly OT.. 5 1/4 Drives

[Daniel Pearson]

They're some really old educational games, have sentimental/nostalgic
value - ABC Fun Keys, Balloon Speller, Funnels & Buckets, Googal Math Games,
Kindermath, School Mom, Clock Game, and Tell Time.

Also, for anyone who has any old games that run too fast on their PC - you
can use a great opensource program called DOSBox
(http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/) in either Linux OR Windows to play them.

Regards,
Daniel
