Z Machine - Programs
What is Programs?
Programs are Z Machine's programs accesable on the Z Machine. Vista, a word you will hear often, is another word we use. It is the word for Z Machine's Programs. For Programs, you can hook up a printer so that you can print out what you typed, or created. Some Programs you can download for free, some cost a certain amount of Z Points. Z Points is the virtual money used with Z Machine. You can buy these points at the store. $1, is 100 Z Points, $2, is 200 Z Points. The Z points are sold in packs of 1000, which means it is ten dollars for each set of 1000. Most programs that cost points are between 200 - 600 Z Points. That is basically what Z Machine's programs are, and below, you will see the variety of programs to be available.

What! You can play PC games on Z Machine? I must be out of my mind, but it's true. You can install any game that is compatible with Windows XP, or Windows Vista, or and Macintosh computer. There is one disability though. Depending on how much memory the game takes up on the computer, is how much memory the game takes up on Z Machine. Otherwise, this feature is awesome!
