    Microsoft also killing Cortana on Xbox One

    This is Interesting - and shows us what happens then Micro$oft fails - yet again - to deliver a useful product. Microsoft always seems to be in the business of developing products that THEY THINK WE NEED. Cortana is just another failure of theirs, since they decided to bundle it into the O/S...

    What do you do with your old 1TB/2TB drives?

    What game have you logged the most hours on?

    I discovered Hack (now called NetHack) way back in the mid-1980s. Found it on a Tandem computer at a company I worked for. Still play it, and it is still being actively developed. Diablo was patterned off of this game. How many hours? At least 500 every year since I found it. It is nearly...
