This is from Norman.  I've finally bought myself a IBM clone from 
CASTLE COMPUTERS.  I now have a 80386/33 SX with 4 Megs Ram, 105 
IDE Hard Drive, SVGA CARD W/512K Trident, SVGA MONITOR 14" .39 
1024x768, 3-1/2 and 5-1/4 Floppies all in a Mini Tower case, 
200ps, 5 Bay.  The keyboard is a Focus 2001 w/cover, Super IDE 
cont., 2 serial, 1 printer, and 1 Game port.  Of course a three 
button mouse and MS-DOS ver 6.0 plus a Sport Joystick completes 
this.

In the meantime I also have WINDOWS 3.1 because I wanted to use 
MAHJONGG with a choice of Tile designs.

Some of my favorites are:

 Animal Math (Grand daughter, age 5) - (ShareWare)
 Bert's Dinosaurs (Grand daughter, age 5) - (ShareWare)
 Brix (ShareWare EX+) - (ShareWare)
 Eight Ball Deluxe (Pinball game)
 Hoyle Book of Games, Volume 1 (Old Maid is great)
 Mahjongg (One for DOS and one for Windows)
 Monopoly Deluxe - (by far the best)
 Shooting Gallery - (ShareWare)
 Solitair Royale - (ShareWare)
 Tristan (Pinball Game)
 Video Catalog

I'm getting familiar with Directory instead of Catalog and about 
a ROOT directory.  I haven't played many games for such a long 
time and now I am taking time out for myself.  It's great to be 
retired.

I will still support the ADAM both locally and Nation wide.  No 
more meetings until some else starts them up once again.  Nine 
years of doing it by myself is enough.  I have both my ADAM and 
DOS set up on a table 48" wide by 29" deep.  To do this I have my 
ADAM up on the wall on a shelf 36" long by 12" deep.  My disk 
drive and an A/B printer switch box along with the joystick are 
overhead.

My Panasonic KX-1180, a ADAM power source is behind this printer, 
Mini-Tower and a 12" B&W TV are on this table desk.  Next to this 
on my left is a typing table with a Color 15" TV and on top of 
that my 14" Color Monitor.

As I work with DOS I find that not all documenation files will 
print out so I use my ADAM while DOS is on the monitor.  I made a 
12 page instruction manual on Solitaire Royale that has 13 
different games.  Two for children.  Both Harold and Ashley 
(grand daughter) are able to play this by themselves.

I am so very thankful that I discovered ADAM and how useful it 
has been and will be for many years to come.  My one printer 
serves both computers.
