Discussion on: What are you "old enough to remember" in software development?

So many good memories in this thread. Few of mine:

• Early days learning BASIC from my Commodore Plus 4 manual.
• Typing in programs from Amstrad Action magazine on my 464 Plus.
• VB6 without which I wouldn't have become a "professional" programmer.
• Classic ASP and VBscript.
• Hand coding HTML in Notepad.
• My first website on Geocities (happily mirrored here).
• The sheer hell of developing sites for IE5 and IE6.
