The topic: Skippy let me pet him!

----------------------------------------------

He liked those neck and ear scritches.  And he likes cheese.  I gave him a little bit last night and this morning and he ate them right up.  But then wouldn’t eat anymore. 

A half hour later I tried scritching him again and he hissed at me.

Well, a little bit is better than nada.

The topic: Did you know

----------------------------------------------

there is no such word as “alot”?

It’s “a lot”.

And it’s not “anyways”, it’s “anyway”.

The topic: My old computer

----------------------------------------------

So, Brian’s gone, left for the property yesterday morning.  I messed around until late morning, then got started on changing out the sound card. Guess what?  The sound cards I got on eBay don’t fit in the slot that the old card was in.  They are useless to me, unless I can figure out where else they might go. And I just am not that savvy right now and I don’t want to do it.

But I refuse to give up.  If the old Virgin game 7th Guest runs under the win98SE OS, then why won’t the newer 11th Guest?  And, damn it, I want to play Under a Killing Moon! 

Looking at link after link, I finally find two that look promising.

I find one for Under A Killing Moon with instructions for running it in Dosbox.

I’ve tried Dosbox before, wasn’t really thrilled, would rather run DOS, but at this point, I’ll try anything.

I followed the step by step instructions and guess what?  I’m playing Under A Killing Moon!  The sound is a little choppy, but I think I can live with that.  The video seems to be okay.

Then I went to the link Ifound for setting up the 11th Hour in a windows environment.   The longest thing about that was defragging my hard drive before set up. 

I installed the Trilobyte patch and the 11th Hour now plays in Windows, I don’t have to exit to DOS.  Yay! 

Now that I’ve got that done, I’ll most likely not turn on that computer for another six months.
