We recently “downsized” which meant throwing out a lot of old stuff – I came across a Tandy TRS Newsletter from the early 80’s which was my first computer (purchased while still in high school in 1979) – was interesting reading and brough back memories – at least back then there was no dll hell and the choice of languages was just basic (or machine code) and the only frameworks was the set of subroutines you created yourself (so no one else to blame).

 

The good ol dayz!

Subject: [OT] MSDN news September/October 2001

I found about 20 MSDN "newspapers" while cleaning out my cupboard. The earliest is from late 1995 and it announces VB 4.0, Visual C++ 4.0 and FoxPro 3.0. The last one from late 2001 is the one I scanned and link to JPGs of the files below. Interesting that there is more VB and C++ than C# code at this time -- Greg
