Thanks, but I think it's not. I checked images on Google and
other. Cannot recall this and never found the feather.

I did recall The Newsroom though. But also no feather to be found on
screen shots.

I tried to load both programs via VICE emulator. But both failed to
complete loading. Have some missing images in my collection and might as
well delete them all and get a new collection at some point and hope more
programs will work then.

I use a Unix based operating system, which means I get laid almost as often
as I have to reboot my computer.
