@shanselman This is very cool. When I was a kid I wrote a bunch of programs and used to give floppies to my friend with the latest updates. Eventually I lost my programs but then like 20 years later my friend found copies of them he had. It's exciting to find lost things.

@shanselman Thank you! And I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but I hope some of the 8-bit Microsoft product source code can be located and opened. Top on my wishlist are MACRO-80, LINK-80, and FORTRAN-80.

@shanselman Love it! Thanks for sharing. Asides from the tablecloth this could also be a picture from our computing lab when I attended school 😂

@shanselman Thanks, great article. Did much programming on original IBM PC in C & Assembler when worked in Switzerland in 1980’s, saved all my programs electronically instead of on printer paper. Same format with detailed explanations as with Tim Paterson’s code. Glad I could follow in the footsteps of giants 🙂
