Macromedia

“Before the dark times…”

I still have a Macromedia T-shirt (swag at an event). And my book on Flash 3.

You can be like me and collect them for fun, but they are less fun to have to move.

I have a set of Windows NT4 books from my MCSE in the 90s I refuse to throw away. My wife hates them, but I still read WindowsNT Technical Support when I have insomnia. So many sleepless nights cured by that book

Yes indeed, "Projects for Outdoor Living" sounds pretty interesting...

[-] tuckerm@feddit.online 3 points 5 months ago

Like, why did I want to get it? For nostalgia! I bet there's a bunch of tips in there about spacer gifs and how to handle differences between IE and Netscape.

[-] dan@upvote.au 1 points 5 months ago

They were talking about another book that's visible on the right side of your photo.

[-] tuckerm@feddit.online 1 points 5 months ago

I thought I saw the original post say "why," and then separately mention the outdoor living book.

[-] broom@piefed.social 1 points 5 months ago

You did, my bad! Sorry!

$1 is way too much for “Contract With America”

[-] Auster@thebrainbin.org 1 points 5 months ago

Reminds me there are a few used bookstores in nearby big cities. Maybe I should travel to some on a development books hunt at some point...

[-] dhtseany@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago
