Wall Street Raider -- the ultimate in sophisticated financial simulations, a corporate takeover and stock market game and simulation, in which you strive to build your corporate empire by fair means or foul, all the while trying to stay one step ahead of the SEC, IRS, Justice Department, EPA, Congress, powerful unions and no end of ruthless competitors and dealing with difficult ethical choices -- not to mention various manmade and natural economic and other disasters. In this highly realistic simulation, 1 to 5 players (including the computer) compete to amass fortunes, investing in, or taking over and managing, any of up to 1590 companies in 70 industry groups. Once in control of a company, you'll use all the tricks of the trade of real Wall Street corporate raiders to expand your empire and net worth, including hostile takeovers, greenmail, LBOs, IPOs, junk bond financing, mergers, restructurings, dominating your industry, antitrust and other lawsuits to harass competitors, and many other fair or unfair tactics. All in the quest for the Almighty Dollar (or Yen, Pound, Euro, or other currency you configure it for). All your investment research and financial wheeling and dealing occur against the backdrop of a nonstop 'live' stock ticker tape, scrolling financial news tape, and a constantly shifting economic and political environment in which all the companies and industries in Wall Street Raider must operate and try to cope. Speedy decision-making is of the essence, and sweaty palms are a certainty, as you try to cope and keep your company's earnings on an upward track -- or at least keep yourself out of Bankruptcy Court! .... Reviews: In a front page article (6/22/2000) Investor's Business Daily called it an '...imaginative, stimulating...' simulation. A leading computer columnist wrote of it, 'You can really learn something about stocks, mergers, takeovers and the general world of finance, and have a whacking good time in the bargain.'

Dennis Hickey has assembled a collection of amusing and inspirational stories and poems, gleaned from his e-mail correspondence with friends, relatives and even strangers. You don't need a modem; just open the pages to log on! You will laugh, cry, be surprised but you will not get bored with this collection. Some stories are for mature audience although they are not indecent by any means. "I know that all Internet and e-mail users receive all types of mail, most being of a Trash or Junk category. In many cases, you can read the subject area and determine immediately if you want to 'Read it or Delete it.' Other types of mail that is not personal or business related is humorous, true, educational, inspirational, religious based or other stories that are forwarded by friends because they have found them to be entertaining and want you to enjoy them too. I have certainly received my share of these stories, but for one reason or another was unable to read them at time of receipt, so I would file them under an appropriate heading or category. One night, I decided to start reading some of these stories, but many were extremely difficult to read because of all the e-mail addresses, comments by individual senders, programming symbols, formatting and spelling problems. I then began to correct these problems so I could print them for my wife to read. It became very time-consuming utilizing thousands of Delete, Backspace, Insert and other keystrokes to get them into a readable story. It soon became a challenge. Since the finished product looked so much better than the original format, I decided to compile, print and place in a notebook for repeated reading by family and friends. Requires 1024x768 screen.
