I have honestly never heard of the ICON. I will definitely spend some time researching now, though!

It is so difficult to remember, all of a sudden, which computer I first used in school...(o_o)
I moved around a lot. Some schools were all about Crapple, and some were Intel
Master Race. Guess which I prefer? (o_-)

 Wa> The fun part was if it was raining on recess we could stay in and play
 Wa> some of the games they had on these computers like Where in the world is
 Wa> Carmen Sandiego?

OMG YES! That Carmen Sandiego! I never found her...but I never liked geography either...I was definitely facsinated with games, though, immediately.

Which of these USB stix has my DOS collection, again? (o_O)

Thanks! I'm off to play Duke and IDDQ--uhh...Wolfenstein!

Oh, and QUAKE! (@_@)
