Re: [Audyssey] Warning! virus on audiogames.net website
Hi James, Yeah, it was available in most stores back in the late 90's.Best Buy, Comp U.S.A., Electronics Boutique, etc all carried it as well as department stores like Walmart had it. However, for some reason it didn't last too long. I think Microsoft, shall we call them Microshaft, probably put an end to the Winblows software by threatening to sue them into the ground like they always do with anyone and anything that remotely borrows the Windows trademark. For example, a few years ago a developer came up with a novel idea of merging Windows and Linux into the same operating system and called it Lindows. They took Linux as the core OS but wrote a custom Windows emulator on top so it would run Windows flagship applications like Office, Internet Explorer, etc on top of Linux. Plus the desktop looked a lot like MS Windows too. Of course, the idea was probably too good. Microsoft and their lawyers descended on them like a pack of lions and sued Lindows into the stone age. long with them having to change their name to Linspire certain elements that made the OS attractive to a Windows user such as the Windows look and feel had to be scrapped in order to comply with copyright law. However, I digress. Anyway, I am not sure what happend to the Winblows games, desktop themes, etc but I am pretty sure Microsoft shut them down. Although, it was funny while it lasted. LOL. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Warning! virus on audiogames.net website
Hi Dark, Well, the term blows generally means more than something is bad, but as it is a rather vulgar expression I won't get into it here. Needless to say it is used when something sucks and is used in a very demeaning way. Cheers! On 8/31/13, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Outlook distress? that's awsome!
