Computing On The Edge Of Technology Can Be A Two Edge Sword

In general, cutting edge software requires cutting edge hardware. The paradox is when you can afford one; but not the other. What do you do next!

Unless otherwise noted most items featured here are Not the latest or most current on the cutting edge of technology. However many are now available at reduced prices "While They Last". These are programs that can run on yesterday's computers [386, 486, and early Pentium]. In DOS and Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, NT.
