Try your hand at the Game of Life.It's an oldie but a goodie. Be careful, it's addictive.If the board is clear, or static, or blinking, and the generations are increasing, you might want to hit Pause. |

Test your computer's Z-axis with this joke stack.After running this test, if your Z-axis subsystem seems sloth-like, or crawls like a slug, give us a call. We'll jack up your computer, change out the z-bearings, give them a light coating of z-oil, and you'll be good for another 100 Tb of mileage. |

How's your hand 'n eye coordination?
Play Red Square. Move the "Red Square", avoid the Evil Blue Dive Bombers. There are three speeds - Low to High - Orville Wright, Jimmy Doolittle, and Chuck Yeager. (Each flew a different speed aircraft.) Watch out for those walls. You will be timed for how long you can survive without getting shot down or crashing into any of the walls. And don't get the dreaded "mouse paw" while working the stick. Good Luck. |
For more hand 'n eye coordination, try the old
Pong Game written for Javascript.
Click here.
It's the single-player version.
You're playing against "The Machine". Have no fear, it's not invincible.
The first one, YOU or The Machine, to bounce the soccer ball off the opponent's
backboard 10 times is the winner.
PONG was the first video game. And so it gets its rightful place of honor in our page. It will also have a place of honor in our planned Museum of Ancient Equipment and Software. Younger gamers probably never heard of it, and middle-age players are probably tired of it. But old folks still need the hand and eye coordination exercise that it gives.. Note-Note-Note! Pong works fine in Internet Explorer 9 in Windows 7 - Compatibility View ON, regardless of whether using a desktop or laptop. Pong also plays fine in Mozilla Firefox and Safari. But Windows XP doesn't support IE-9, only IE-8. IE 8 doesn't play the pong game correctly. Even in Compatibility Mode.  Click here for more on what the Compatibility Mode
for IE is.

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary
surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened
to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck,
Cuddles, has passed away."
