[TriLUG] You can now buy Mandrake 8.1 WITH A LINUX VERSION of"THE SIMS"--The REAL MCKOY!!

[al johson]

Well, I did attend the "game" meeting, but I didn't hear anyone say that
Mandrake had a "Sims box" available for purchase. The only thing I heard
about "The Sims" there was that Winex was being worked on so that it would
eventually run the WINDOWS version of "The Sims". So I guess I missed what
everyone else knew. Anyway, now you know where you can buy "The Sims"
Mandrake distribution and how much it cost!--Al
