I was just looking something up on caddyserver.com, which is not a retro website by any means. But, when I got to the very bottom of the page, I saw some classic browser buttons that I haven't seen in a very long time. And a hit counter, too! It made me smile.

Camera Control Pro (lemmy.world)
submitted 3 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hey all, I've been hunting for a discontinued software for Nikon cameras. Its Camera Control Pro, not the second one or tether as those are not compatible with my camera.

Could someone point me in the direction to get this retired software please? Thank you

This site is still up after 25 years, if you can believe that.

You've probably heard of the famous 'thank you for playing Wing Commander' story. It claims that a programmer on the original Wing Commander was stuck getting an error message when the game unloaded its memory during a quit. Pressed for time, instead of fixing the issue he simply hex edited the memory manager's error reporting to print 'thank you for playing Wing Commander' instead. A funny and relatable story!

...

Wing Commander I fans, meanwhile, have been understandably cautious about the anecdote and particularly the included screenshot. For one thing, Wing Commander I's default install direction isn't c:/wc1 and the game doesn't actually print "Thank You for Playing Wing Commander!" when you quit. Is the story even real?

...note burning a hole in his pocket from Christmas and found a Casio RD-10 “card radio” on sale and grabbed it. He’s long-ago lost that one, but he was able to find a new old stock one and shows us the little gadget in the video below.

I love this art. I photocopied it this afternoon and figured you'd might like it.
