Windows 3.11 included a tutorial on how to use a mouse and click on things. I found it entertaining and completed it so many times as a kid.

Share Amiga memories with BILL WINTERS (AmigaBill) - Thursday, July 18, 2024 - 7:00PM ET !

Toronto PET Users Group (TPUG) is hosting an online meeting with Bill Winters - a.k.a, AmigaBill. He founded the Westchester Amiga User Group (WAUG) way back in 1988, which is still going strong today 36 years later. In the new millennium, he would go on to co-found the beloved Guru Meditation YouTube channel, educating and entertaining Amiga fans worldwide. In more recent years, he's risen even higher in prominence by hosting the ultimate online Amiga party on Twitch, every Sunday throughout the year.

We'd love for you to join the meeting and share in the fun. For the first half, AmigaBill will be interviewed by Nico. For the second half, attendees will have the chance to ask AmigaBill questions about anything - e.g. his devotion to Amiga, hardware old and new, vintage software, new games, demos, etc.

Mark your calendars:

The meeting takes place on Thursday, July 18, 2024 at 7:00PM ET. (Toronto)

Wizard 3D Gem Game? Windows 98/2000s/XP?

Trying to make sure this wasn't a fever dream from my childhood. But I remember playing this gem drop game that you could make 3D or 2D on our old windows computer, i'm trying to remember what it was.

I just remember that all the gyms were hexagonal shaped and the background was ivory and gold.

ZOOM HANGOUT: Brian Dougherty - Founder of Berkeley Softworks - GEOS - Thursday, April 18, 2024 !

Hold on to your hats... you're about to reconnect with one of the most intriguing entrepreneurs of the mid-1980’s home computing era. Brian Dougherty was the founder of Berkeley Softworks, the company that developed GEOS (Graphic Environment Operating System) for the Commodore 64, C128, Plus/4, and the Apple II series of computers.

In addition to GEOS, the company also released complementary software and hardware such as geoPublish and geoRAM. GEOS and its ecosystem of products granted 8-bit computers the type of functionality previously only seen on more powerful computers, an ambitious feat that continues to be admired by retrocomputing fans worldwide.

Brian Dougherty will be interviewed by Toronto-based UI Designer Lucas Gramajo.

Mark your calendars:

Date: Thursday, April 18, 2024.

Time: 7:30PM ET. (Toronto, Canada).

Looking for an old screen saver

It was most likely after dark. It was lines of code and messages and a face every now and then would lean in so you could barely see it. It had a crazy sound . Any idea on what it was?
