It was bugging me that I didn’t do better in the Beginners Cave, so I created another character and went back. This time I did better and it was worth it. I got some more loot and had a good time as well.
Now that I have found a more satisfactory ending to the Beginners Cave, I’m going to go back to The Caves of Mondamen and try again.

Last night I added a few pages about my Apple II’s. I plan to update them with more details and add more pages about the computers I work with.

My computers are not what you would call state of the art, although they might have been when they were built. I haven’t bought a new computer since I switched from my Apple //c to the IBM world. I bought a 386DX, with 1MB RAM and a 50MB Hard Drive. I have to admit I argued with the guy who sold it to me. I wanted a smaller hard drive, as I thought a 50MB drive was a ridiculous waste of space. I had been using an IBM PC/XT with 640K and a 10MB hard drive at work and personally coming up from an Apple //c with dual 140K drives. What would I do with all that space? What is the smallest hard drive you would install for a primary drive on a new computer now? My Linux laptop had a 320GB WD Scorpio Hard Drive when I decided to switch to Linux, I stumbled across an 80GB SSD drive that cost $40 after rebates. It was well worth the loss of space for the speed difference. It takes about 28 seconds to do a real book of Ubuntu Linux. The battery lasts about half again as long on my laptop as a side benefit.
