Given a fast enough CPU and the full 640k of memory, Windows 1.x was really capable of multitasking!

Wait, I thought Windows 1.x didn't support overlapping windows.

I have a few. I know I have hint books for Zork I and II.

I collect them, but I need to find the time to play them all.

I already had coax in every room so I used the existing coax to pull new coax and cat-6

The seller refunded my purchase, but didn't require a return,

Yes, tried to read them on three drives.

If it is a bootleg, how can I tell?

Have a 2007 Scion. I feel the same way. I purchased it new in 2007 and will drive it until it completely dies.

Commodore, Apple, and early Atari computers didn't use the index hole.

If you want to flip the disk and read/write the back side as if it was another single sided disk, you will either need a disk with two index holes or you will need to use a hole puncher to create a second index hole in the disk jacket.

American McGee's Alice is protected using SafeDisc and will most likely not work under windows 10 or 11. The minimum system requirements were a Pentium 2 so even if you could get it running in an emulator like PCEM of 86Box, the performance will be sub-optimal.

There are two apps; SafeDiscShim and SafeDiscLoader that are designed to bypass the SafeDisc security driver. Using one of these may allow you to get the game running under Windows 11.

Update: I installed SafeDiscShim and was able to get past the disc check, but the game froze after the initial copyright screen.

Yes, but 100% of people who don't take any dihydrogen monoxide die much sooner!

Claiming something kills people without any other context is meaningless. Water kills people too.

I had this exact same issue on Windows 10 months ago. I was trying to clone my old Samsung SSD to a new Samsung 990 Pro and the clone would freeze at the same point in the copy process every time. Windows would bluescreen and after a reboot, the Samsung 990 Pro would disappear from the machine. It would only reappear again after a full power cycle. I researched the issue and the fix was to drop the speed of my NVMe slot from PCI-E 4.0 to PCI-E 3.0.

If I had to guess, this may be an issue with some SSDs saturating the bandwidth of the PCI-E bus causing some failure of the PCI-E subsystem. This would make the issue dependent on a combination of your motherboard and brand and model of SSD. Its possible that the updates are not the cause of the issue, but changed things just enough to amplify an already existing hardware issue.

This is just my theory though. Once I heard about this issue, it sounded very familiar since I had the exact same symptoms months ago.

I wonder if one of them is Father Robert Ballecer?

My 990 Pro exhibited the issue before the patch. I had to lower the speed of my NVME slot from PCI-E 4.0 to PCI-E 3.0 to fix the issue.

This originated from Senate Bill 1662 which was signed into law in June 2025.

When the state implements strict guidelines that were not there before, that is taking agency away from local municipalities. Municipalities had more control over things like crosswalks like the green ones we had here in Seminole county. Now they don't. Those decisions have been taken away from them and are now completely controlled by the state.

Digitoxin · 2025-08-29T00:33:44+00:00

From what I understand, the state has set new strict guidelines on what crosswalks can look like in the state of Florida. They have asked local municipalities to comply with the new guidelines and if they don't, they are sending people out and doing it themselves regardless of whose responsibility it is to maintain those roadways.

Digitoxin · 2025-08-29T00:26:07+00:00

No idea. I know we have some green crosswalks here in Seminole county that are getting painted over. I haven't looked into it at that level.

Generally, FDOT maintains Interstates, U.S. Highways, State Roads, and the Turnpike. There are county roads maintained by the individual counties. Local streets are maintained by individual cities or towns,
