The disks are long gone, as these games and applications are really old! Several Windows OSs old!

I sent this photo to the girls; it sparked a conversation between them.
They also recalled Operation Neptune (The Learning Company),
and Treasure Mountain,
and Treasure MathStorm…

How is it that one cleans and tosses and there seems to be just as much stuff either left or comes back?!

@randystreat Boomerang! You're not tossing or throwing hard enough for them not to find their way back!
