Dude, I know this video is nearly 4 years old, but man, did I get a real shock out of that -Lasalle County- label! That's probably referring to the Lasalle County power plant, which was a nuclear power plant owned and operated by Commonwealth Edison (ComEd for short) and was actually in Lasalle, Illinois rather than Morris, Illinois. Morris only had a lowly oil burning plant but actually outputted more than its nuke brethren, in terms of total wattage, which is where my dad worked until they shut the place down in 2004. God that's neat.

I used to have it until around 2000 I think my young children at that time lost it.
But I always remember buying it in a toy store around 1985, and I loved watching it and listening to it and until just now I happened to find this video because I was hoping to find it someday somewhere on the internet.
I had Jingle Disk, Friendyware, Lotus 123, Dbase, Wordstar, PrintShop, chess, and other programs and games from that time on a BBC Micro 8088 PC-XT and a Panasonic KXP 1080i Printer.

This is actually interesting because I was just letting your Christmas game reviews play one after another (I'm feeling jolly and am a big fan. and this review chronicles the formation of Hi-Tech Expressions. who made the We're Back: A Dinosaur Story game along with Funcom. whose source code was used as the basis for Daze Before Christmas. Just an interesting relation to another one of your videos.

Hey, Clint. Is it sad that I want you to read classic Christmas stories in the same way you read what was happening in the -cutscenes-? Because that would make for a hilarious video. What can I say? I've been a big fan of your dry humor, and I think that Christmas stories are in need of an update to point out all the technical issues that come with Yuletide cheer.

OMG! I started watching your videos few weeks ago, saw this one only 3 days ago. Today I decided to dig out my old Commodore 64. It was given to me by a relative 15-20 years ago, and it came with a box of random disks and stuff. Going through this box, what do I find but a copy of the Jingle Disk with versions for both the C64 and the Apple II

I actually showed this to a friend of mine by chance, and she went nuts over it, saying she remembered playing with this all the time growing up.
I didn't know she had a PC growing up. Didn't even know she had an interest in anything electronic-based except TV shows.

I used to love these types of programs as a kid. Along with -sending- your friends ridiculously obscene printer cards (How 'bout a birthday card not-on-your-birthday that sez -PeeWee goes Squirt Squirt-? :P ) this and and CrossCountry USA were about all I did in computer lab. :)

Man, the Hi-Tech Expressions logo reminded me that I need to get The Flintstones: Dino: Lost in Bedrock. Said game would freeze at the title screen after the opening tune is played on my old 8086. Now that I have a PIII DOS machine, it's time to get it done with.

Have you ever gotten your hands on any of that management training software? I ask because I kinda want to know what exactly could they do, in that early MS-DOS era, to train managers in management and managing. What could possibly be on that disk?
