DOS Gaming titles available
by Herbert Johnson 24 Jan '26

24 Jan '26

Laura Kid asks: Are they all Windows? What are requirements? Laura, I don't know the seller or what they have. But looking at the titles as dated from 1990 to 1997, some versions of say Paint Shop PRo 7 and so on? Seems to me these are Windows 98 Windows XP era, maybe some MS-DOS games stuff too. Some of the software might need product numbers to enable them but the non-office gaming stuff may only need to run from the original CD. Sounds like a stack of CD's. Recent 64-bit Windows might choke on some of these but I've run things like Paint Shop Pro 9 under Win 10. Or run on an older Windows OS just for their use. But I don't see anything that needs networking/browsing to work, at-a-glance, so an old PC's networking won't be needed. No promises from me. As Degnan's listing says, contact Bill to connect to the seller. My guess is these would fit a flat-rate Priority Mail box if the seller wants to ship. Regards Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.

Keep Front Gate open Saturday, Jan. 24
by Jeffrey Brace 23 Jan '26

23 Jan '26

MESSAGE FROM GLORIA: Anyone at InfoAge on Saturday, please make sure when the museums close that the main gate is left open. Wall DPW will come through Sunday and Monday to salt and plow so the gate needs to be open for them. Please pass it on to your volunteers that will be onsite on Saturday.
