from TBTF for 1999-08-30
August 29, 1999In July 1999, software pioneer Dan Bricklin released a 1981 version of VisiCalc, the seminal spreadsheet he co-invented, for free download from the Web. (It's 27K!) Bricklin's action initiated an ongoing parade of releases of classic software by the luminaries of the early history of software development. Here is a summary of these releases with URLs where you can pick up these software artifacts. The most recent releases are at the top.
Below is a table listing some other depots of antique software. This listing could easily get out of hand, so I reserve the right to pull the plug on it at a later date.
