Free to Golf Another Day

I don’t blog very often, so it has to be something pretty special when I do. Our buds over at DataSavers LLC successfully recovered some important data for a very happy owner of a Windows 3.1 machine. He’d been using Golf Digest’s ScoreCard 4.0 software to log all of his golf games, scores, and courses for over 15 years. Over iT!’s Challenge: get this all to work easily on his brand new 27″ iMac. What a challenge! Windows 3.1 running on new Mac is something I’ve never seen in my time as a certified Apple specialist. We decided to leverage DOSBox, a free software currently used by old-school PC video gamers to play classic DOS games. In under and hour of the client’s call (and never having met with him in person), we had him up and running. The bonus… We now have our old favorite game, Wolf 3D, running on our iMacs.  ;)
