    An Adlib version of Neil Sedaka's "Laughter in the Rain" that I put together. It's linked to in the video description.

    Bonus points for the instrumental of "Laughter in the Rain" in the opening. Reminds me of my elementary school spelling textbooks. The writers tried to make all the homework assignments mini games, but I still resented it. At least I wasn't mucking about with that awkward looking creature that looks like something you might not even want to shoot along the Oregon Trail lest it carry disease. I mean, little Suzie already has typhoid. We don't need anymore bad luck. XD Thanks for this.

    Thank God the educational games and comps improved by the time I was old enough to use & play them. I really started using the computer in fourth grade, the era of the worst Windows outside Vista, Windows Millenium. Only good things were the screensavers. Anybody set it to 3D maze and make their parents sick? Psychedelic! I got all my computer skills screwing around with our old Gateway with a 40 minute demo of JAWS for Windows screen reading software. I'm visually impaired. Drove my mom mad! :)
