A case study I did on Eastman Kodak (.doc, 22 pages) from 1994 for an MBA class & a copy of my college resume circa 93 or 94. They're on my backup hard drive on a SFF machine I built last year.

Ooh, you reminded me that my custom-built maps from Warcraft2 are still around here. Files are dated 1999, but I don't think that's correct.

I did dig up a crappy web page that I made in 1997. The front page directs you to download Netscape 3.0. Hah!

The only links in the entire thing that still work 11 years later are WinAmp, C|Net, and Tom's Hardware Guide. :D

On the computer? No more than 2 years old..
I either Donate, Erase and use again, or Drill holes in them and throw them away ;)

.txt file from 1994. Actually it's a BAT file I created for backing up my (before it's time) local documents folder to my personal folder on the network.

Wordstar 6, released around 1987ish for DOS and so well written it works on XP. I need to copy that folder over to one of my Vista machines and see if it works on Vista as well. As for stuff I created I have some dBase2 databases and code I wrote on a Compaq luggable in 1989 sitting in a folder on one of my machines.
