- AIT_Trains 1.8. Train on the Trains — AIT_Trains I want to talk about today is a dangerous thing. It is a very effective and pitiless time-killer: I’ve spent several days with those trains, railways, freights, rail-stations; and I’m afraid those days were not the last portion of my time stolen by this game. So, read on only if you are positive that you can stand the temptation. OK, several words about the game’s plot. You have your…
- xplorer2 1.7.0.5, Classic Goodies and New Strengths — File Managers have a long history. Both their strengths and weaknesses have been strongly associated with the operating system they had been running under.

He divorced with his wife to join Pancho…
