Subject: RE: Microsoft buys Zenimax?

It feels so weird to write the year "2024." Truly, this is the future. We don't have Jetson flying bubble cars or flux capacitors, but we do have amazing entertainment. Netflix, Microsoft Game Pass, Google Stadia . . . it's too much to take in. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Walt Disney predicted that we would be controlling the weather by now. Little did he know that our living rooms would be vacuumed by little robots being ridden by overweight cats, or that we could see this at any time on our smartphones, which are better than the tricorder things on Star Trek. Never mind that mostly all they do is make us pay for blood pressure apps and provide directions to the nearest Taco Bell.
