Anders Hejlsberg - Tour through computing industry history at the Microsoft Museum
Jun 14, 2004 at 2:10 PMAh, the fond memories of Turbo Pascal and college Data Structures classes. This also reminded me of the geek wars I'd be part of in high school where we had the Trash-80 camp waring against the Atari camp. Days to be missed...
