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.
