From The Vault: June/July 2001

Blimey, been rummaging through some of the old posts and collecting together the still active links. What an exciting life I lead.

Well, this didn’t exactly turn into a weekly feature and in retrospect was probably a bit optimistic thinking we could manage that, but hopefully it’ll make it as reasonably regular-ish.

With the rather obvious disclaimers folks that some of these may well be DOS, may well be unsupported/no longer updated and in a lot of cases certainly may not run quite so hot on modern computers lets take a look at the stuff we covered in the early years of RR’s life thanks to the old boss, [JJ].
