So yesterday I found the Oregon Trail CD that Lauren brought when she moved here and never told me about. Yes, I'm talking about "the" Oregon Trail game that never ceased to amaze and entertain all kids that were in grade school at the same time as I. Although it is a little more recent edition than the one I remember it is still awesome.

Mac Version - NOT AS COOL

The upgrades between the two systems are quite nice and include:
1.) Map to show your progress
2.) Improved graphics

6.) There is no 4.)
The older version did have a much better hunting feature though where you could move around instead of just aiming. See Below:

Jupiter's status as a planet and a fixture to our own pleasant solar system is in further jeopardy as signs of discontent from neighboring Saturn have been spotted recently:
When asked about it's possible displacement Jupter was quoted saying, "There is always our neighbor system around Epsilon Eridani. It's a long journey over there but they've always been interested in a larger planet joining their system." Jupiter had indicated it has been censing some hostility and even some rude comments about its size from smaller, hotter planets like Mercury..bmp)
