Who can forget the lively exploits of everyone's favorite stick figure of doom, the one and only great Alfredo?! If you actually have one of these rare disks, throw a party and I'll bring the popcorn, and a crowd of people who will thank you! ;) - Ayelis 06:30, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow. This is a large chunk of my childhood here. Pre-Internet days this was a great way to get cheap software. I think my father subscribed to this thinking he'd get useful business software, but I kept him on it for the games. I think we still have the disks in a closet somewhere. I'll flesh out what I can when I have time back home. Dibs on the Dark Designs and Legends of Murder pages. 64.238.49.65 20:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Harrison also created an MSDOS utility called Conversion Tables (appearing in Big Blue Disk #48)vthat, as the name implied, provided an easy to use conversion utility for various science and engineering quantities (length, mass, volume, pressure, power, energy, temperature, etc. along with a "generic" table that the user could define for their own purposes. I used it for decades on my work computers and still have it on my home machine.
