While we are all still reminiscing... In the late 80s (end of 8086, start of 80286 era) there was a guy in Timaru who started a shareware library. He basically charged for the media so you looked through his catalogue, decided you wanted programs x y and z and paid him $5 per disk. I remember telling him that I was going to study computer science at uni and him telling me that he saw no future is software because there was so much good stuff already out there that he couldn't understand why anyone would go to the bother of writing any new software.
