Hyelp!
Gracious readers, if any of you have the CD-ROMs for Office 97 or Office 98 and/or MS Access 97/98 and/or Microsoft Project 97/98, and you live in the GTA, and (jeezes!) you are near public transit (cuz I don’t drive), let me know.
Office ME might work, but I only have a Classic Pentium, and while a Windows ME installation won’t succeed (I tried it…), the Office products might, I dunno.
Oh, and Visual Basic 6, freestanding, ie sans the entire Visual Studio 6 suite of tools. I used to have it but it’s long gone…
And games that might work on Windows 98 would be welcome too; racing (I don’t drive…), first-person negotiators, fight-or-flight simulators, that sort of thing.
And of course, all this for free.
I know you can do it.

Hey David, I have lots of old stuff like that! I am a packrat, remember?

So Reid, fine fellow that he is, came through!
He lent me a whole whack of games, scores, I would say, plus Office 97 Pro with Access. Now all I really need is Project, and he’s working on that for me.
And Visual Basic 6, I would really like that.
No offense, what’s keeping the rest of you? Except for you, jok. You’re okay.

I have a completely legit copy of VB 6 (manuals, CDs, everything) I’m not using, and have deinstalled. PERL-Tk is my preferred slam-dunk language for that sort of thing, although Java has its merits.
