Lettris
Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
boggle
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

Alan Shugart
Alan Shugart (* 27. September 1930 in Los Angeles; † 12. Dezember 2006 in San José) arbeitete in den späten 1960er Jahren für IBM. Man schreibt ihm die Erfindung der 8″-Diskette im Jahr 1969 zu. Alan Shugart gründete 1973 seine eigene Firma Shugart Associates, die sich mit der Entwicklung und Herstellung von Diskettenlaufwerken befasste. 1976 entwickelte er die 130-mm- (5,25-Zoll)-Diskette. 1979 gründete er zusammen mit Finis Conner die Firma Seagate, einen der führenden Hersteller für Festplatten. Shugart starb in einem kalifornischem Krankenhaus an den Komplikationen einer Herzoperation.
Shugart entwickelte nicht nur die Diskette, sondern auch das Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) zum Anbinden von optischen und magnetischen Laufwerken an Computer.
Die Bezeichnung Shugart wird auch für den De-facto-Standard für Diskettenlaufwerk-Interfaces verwendet:
- 50 Pins: 8″
- 34 Pins: 5¼″, 3½″, 3″
