Okay.  First, you get up from the computer, then you go over and ask
mommy to drive you to the mall or other local computer store.  Then, you
go inside, and look for a little bin with a bunch of games in it.  It's
usually marked "Special" (A different kind of special than on the side
of your bus) or "Sale" or "Reduced" or even *gasp* "Bargain."  Then, you
find Master Of Orion 1, and you take the box, walk up to the cash
register, and pay for it.  If it's not there, you can always try using
this little thing called a "search engine" (www.yahoo.com,
www.google.com, www.excite.com, etc) and find somewhere online that has
the game, then order it from there.

Yes, do that, ask how they feel about people giving away their
property.  Make sure you stay on the line a nice long time, so the
traces can be completed.
