Reliving Childhood: The Oregon Trail

After 20+ years away from the Apple IIe, I decided to invest a few seconds in a Google search to find an Apple emulator. I wanted to relive a little of my past and play The Oregon Trail!

Not the crappy Ponzi scheme of the Oregon Trail on Facebook, THE REAL Oregon trail.

I hopped on virtualapple.org and was able to enjoy The Oregon Trail as God intended, with sound effects.

I loaded up the wagon and put the pedal to the metal and made the journey in my first attempt! Success! All those years of schooling really paid off!

Customer Service: Phone Call Time Wasters

Does anybody still input ID numbers when prompted during customer service calls? Remember some of the excuses they would give after you had entered your 16 digit credit card # only to be asked to repeat it when you finally get to a live person?

My favorites:

• The system must be down today
• I lost that screen

What are some of your favorites?
