> Hi all. I told everyone i'm using a Mac, and am a little unsure how to start this thing. I can't wait though, because I remember the old Oregon trail, the dragon maze, what i used to love, and wonder if someone has it, or if it's there were the old math games disc. everything from making change to rounding numbers. I think it had metric 21 and also bagels? I'm itching to figure out things because I want to play. :) I realize it will take time, i'm just teasing.

>> You extract the messapple-win.zip file. In the readme is the command string for how to start the emulator. I copied the string into Notepad and saved it as games.bat in the same folder with the extracted messapple-win. Now all I have to do is navigate to the folder where messapple-win is located and select games.bat. If I'm at the Dos command prompt instead of Windows Explorer, I type games.bat instead of selecting it. The emulator then loads. As stated earlier, this is my personal preference.

>> Batch files were made for the Dos operating system, though  I'm not sure if they originated with Apple Dos or Microsoft Dos. Regardless they are a way to execute a series of commands quickly.

>>> Hi Trina,
>>> Welcome to BlindApple. To get started, I suggest the following steps.
>>> 1. Open the zip file.
>>> 2. Go into the File menu with alt-f and arrow to Extract all. Press enter.
>>> 3. Select the extract button and press enter.
>>> 4. After the files are extracted, go into the folder that was created by extraction and read the readme. Follow the steps there to start the emulator. I myself created a batch file so I don't have to copy and paste the command string for loading a disk into the emulator. That is my personal pereference.
>>> 5. Post to this list with additional questions.

>>> Hi:
>>> My name is Trina and I'm 43 years old and I'm from Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada.  I sing and play guitar, but most of all, I love helping people and learning new information.
>>> I just received the advertisement from Jason through the RS Games and I'd love to play!!! It sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't have much experience with some of this stuff like unzipping files.  It's okay if you're laughing because I am lol.
>>> By the way, I'm totally blind and I use Jaws with Windows XP.
>>> I look forward to talking with all of you.
