    I bought a Radio Shack Model II business computer that had one 8 inch disk, SSDD (Single Side Double density). The 64K computer cost around $4000.

    Has basketball gotten out of control with tall players?

    If one were to predict that in 10 years, that all basketball players would be between 7 and 8 foot tall, and they would just post their tallest man at each goal, so that the others could throw the ball to them to dunk, what type of game would that be.

    This is a tough one. So many stores have shrink wrap machines, and even individuals have these machines to make software look unopened. Not sure why someone would claim an $8 game is an AOL disk unless it was so. My suggestion is to refund the money and next time, don't sell something shrink...
