<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>David and Rick if you are out there: There was a cool/silly racecar game
I used to play. On the DOS 6.2 built by 'Apogee' If the code was just
changed a little bit. Would it be possible to add this game as a 'bin'
file in the Debian or better yet Mint/Ubuntu 17/14 repositories? I am
overjoyed to have even read your messages regarding programming
languages. <br><br>paul g<br><br><div>> Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2015 21:08:26 -0600<br>> From: eng@pinenet.com<br>> To: escargo@skypoint.com; tclug-list@mn-linux.org<br>> Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Learning string editing on a 2.6 kernel with a serial mouse<br>> <br>> Sincere thanks.

These days I copy fire, and think we can create a lot of <br>> higher value fuel by vaporizing cellulose with concentrated sunlight. <br>> The Raspberry Pi, or Arduino Uno could control a lot of mirrors. But <br>> everybody is an expert and there are dozens of variations on solar <br>> energy and cellulosic derived fuels. There is a lot of big money, public <br>> and private, chasing this around the world in the name of climate change <br>> and energy security. People also talk about "smart grid" and "load <br>> balancing" the electric grid. As best I'm able, I contribute the <br>> biophysical chemistry but would love to churn out code at a warm desk <br>> instead.<br>> <br>> I wish I could suggest something specific for your kind offer. Just like <br>> developing the internet and integrated circuits in the 1980s, we need a <br>> new economic gameplan today. And it will involve computers and energy, <br>> IMHO.
