Oh joy!  How inventive.  Gahh![sfx: finger down throat]

Back in at late-90s at a BBS users' meeting, we enjoyed a popular round of "pin
the lawsuit on Gates" (played as per "pin the tail on the donkey").  Then
followed the usual hard drive shotput disk throwing. Plus some fun with
floppies but the details escape me at the moment.

I'm sure our Russian friends probably have some particularly groovy intentions.
 And not just games.  I imagine much drinking, singing 7 dancing.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
