[QUOTE="Shirker, post: 716430, member: 103440"] I programmed an IMSAI in college and passed up buying a Zenith Z100 before I graduated. At my first job I used an IBM 3270 PC AT that I think had a 286 CPU and one or, maybe, two memory expansion cards, each one maybe capable of holding 1 or 2 MB of memory (in addition to 1MB on the motherboard). Of course this is so long ago I could be totally wrong. Next was a Wyse 386, very fast. I must have had 4MB in expanded memory that I used as a big RAM drive. I copied all of my applications onto the RAM drive (Word, Lotus 1-2-3, a file manager, and some other utilities) and ran them from there. I have never run applications faster. [Skip 15 years in IT administration.] I suppose I may have run across this Web site earlier, but I remember it from the trauma, sometime in 2017, I think, that was the failure of Windows 7 update services, a reminder of the hubris that lives on in Redmond. Does anyone remember spending three days to install and update Windows 7 on an older machine? But what has brought me as a member is my quest for a copy of the open licensing MS Office Professional Plus 2010 DVD or ISO image. It seems likely that a person sufficiently dedicated to Windows 7 might be likely to have this software. Mark Twain said (I think) "Keep all your eggs in one basket, but watch that basket!" Well I kept my eggs in one basket, but, well, alas. I was satisfied to continue using Office 2008. But when I realized that support was ending, I discovered that the Office 2010 download was inaccessible. And so I'm stuck with 1,000+ valid licenses and no software. [/QUOTE]
