Imagine writting news for a web site. Surely they aren't proper journalists. And to think this is what my license fee goes on so people around the world (who don't pay) can read quick gags.

I remember the days when...

..every game you used to buy had a warning about making sure that you had no TSR's running.

I still call the stuff that clutters up my system tray TSR's, 'cept now no-one knows what I'm on about.
