| 141440 | 2003-05-05 03:43:00 | Hi there people... I hope you don't mind this, but due to a school project I'm looking for a timeline of computer software releases and/or develepment. I've tried googling a bit but can't really find something suitable. Any suggestions...? Cheers. |

| 141441 | 2003-05-05 03:48:00 | A time line for all software? Good luck. | promethius (1998) | ||
| 141442 | 2003-05-05 04:22:00 | I would recomend going to the library and getting out: a Shelley Cashman Series book "Discovering Computers - Concepts for a Digital World 2002" there might even be a 2003 release Milestones in Computer History (scsite.com) However this is not quite what you are asking for, but it does have some software releases included. Good luck with the project. |

| 141444 | 2003-05-05 04:56:00 | But there were computers and software long before there were PCs and Microsoft. :D The first link that Google gives for "software timeline" gives a partial list of DEC OSs (mostly), starting a bit earlier ... IBM had Fortran in 1950-something. COBOL was similar .... There were Alcol, CPL, APL, etcetera ... |
