| 118544 | 2003-02-05 01:47:00 | Im sure that somebody has mentioned a website that is basically a collection of older versions of TONS of software. Does anybody have a site like this, that has a broad range, as a friend has put together a 486 DX66Mhz and has 98 on it.. So we're looking for some older versions of proggy's. He hasnt yet told me what progs he wants, but Im sure there's a few sites out there that keep old versions of lotsa different proggy's. If you know of any that'd be great :-) Thanks Chilling_Silence |

| 118548 | 2003-02-05 03:16:00 | Here's a very good website (http://google.co.nz/). ;-) Just giove it the string "old versions" and have a look at some of the 2,700,000 links it will find for you. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 118549 | 2003-02-05 03:19:00 | Yes, you seem to enjoy directing people to google lately dont you... I have done that, and who wants to sift through 2.7 million links. I was simply asking if anybody knew of any websites that stocked old versions. While google does just this, it is not quite what Im looking for ;-) Thanks anyway :) |

| 118550 | 2003-02-05 03:34:00 | The links in the first few pages (I know that the relevance drops as you look further) are probably what you are looking for. ("old versions of software" is not a very precise search object). I refer people to google when it is obvious either that they want someone else to do their research for them, or if a suggested search string might help them. I will continue to do so. If you want an old version of a particular piece of software, I would look at the home site for that software, or search google for "software_name old version", or something similar. The major mirrors are worth a look. Simtel is good. Some of the US universities, and the Australian and UK academic mirrors have lots of stuff too. |

| 118551 | 2003-02-05 04:32:00 | Congrats on the 2000 posts Graham, only 48 to go to join the 2K Club. Keep on referring to Google, it's an educative process and many newbie readers will pick up on the advice. Likewise for the FAQs. I'll bet we would have a heap more posts if this advice wasn't frequently offered as I'm sure that regular readers solve some of their own problems without needing to post. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
