By the way, the first interactive book I ever read was Portal on the Apple ][. In fact Amazon still offers the book version.
Do you still have the collected works of Infocom? Those stories were really great. I don't have them all, but I did manage to get most of them in MS-DOS: almost all are on mini-floppy disks. Interestingly, Vista reads the files after a bit of tweaking. But to have direct access to the originals is awesome! Great find.
