• Paul Braren and Alfred Poor: MS Flight Simulator Dreaming (video)

This particular article is about the invention of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and the dawn of the PC gaming industry. Don't miss the video, where I catch up with fellow flight enthusiast Alfred Poor, here's an excerpt:

Paul Braren, who recently joined aNewDomain, told us he was always a huge fan of "Alfred Poor’s Computer Cures" columns in Computer Shopper.  The two first met in 1992 at Cornell University at a Microsoft Flight Simulator conference. At the time, Braren was a teaching assistant with Cornell professor and world renowned sleep expert Jim Maas. But no one was sleeping at this event. Back then, Microsoft Flight Simulator had everyone on the edge of their seat. Here’s Paul Braren with more.

In case you're wondering, my TinkerTry.com is also continuing to grow, and I've got a dozen more exciting home lab projects in the hopper. You just might occasionally bump into my posts elsewhere on the web as well.
