Today I found the model of my first PC, Philips P3102. That was some 30 years ago. Back then we used floppy disks, Lexicon, Slovo&Delo, Chi-Writer, Norton Commander, Volkov Commander, and DOS Navigator, ARJ archiver, CP1250 and CP866 encodings. I was working at a bank at the time, where everything was managed by Novell, and we used antiviruses like Aidstest by D. N. Lozinsky, Dr.Web, and ADinf. As far as databases go, I remember Clipper being popular. From programming languages, I used Turbo Pascal 4.0 and Borland C++ Builder. And there was Watcom C as well. But, when you think about it, there was so much local software—developed in Russia. Then, everything was overturned, Windows NT came, then XP. But that was only 25 years ago. I wonder if there will be such a dramatic change in another 25 years?
