Cleaning out some VERY old boxes, in a long-untouched closet, and discovered my first supply of PC Games, some new back when 386's were new, and while there's (almost) zero use for these, I still think the cover art is quite cool. I found the original Zork (I), Zork II, Zork III (and the later released Zork 0), Enchanter, and Sorcerer from InfoCom, plus Star Trek "The Kobayashi Alternative" from Simon & Schuster, Pool of Radiance and Eye of the Beholder from SSI, Loom by Lucas Games, Nuclear War from New World, Annals of Rome and FireZone from PSS, Sidewinder from EA, and Defender of the Crown from Mindscape to name many. I loved these games, and wonder if there's any sort of serious collectors market out there as there is for vinyl album art — or is it just a personal thing?

Balmer was speaking at a lecture to university students at the Corvinus University in Budapest, and was just going into his "warm-personable" act when an angry student, sporting a classic, if European long-sleeved homebrew "Microsoft = corruption" shirt, shouted some choice words in anger, and pummeled him with several eggs . I'm not sure what the student said (anyone?), but it obviously echoes of the classic Gates-pie gag , only a bit more "raw" on several fronts, and lacking other "ingredients." Balmer, clearly a bit wigged, shook it off with his usual pacing and humorous observations.

Just thought fellow /.ers would appreciate this parody video showing how to get guys in Silicon Valley — you know, the smart, caring, artsy type. Having several friends who've married Mac-Men I guess their secret is out. I suppose it would work for Mac-Men anywhere, and Mac-Women, too. Has it worked for you? What's your story?
