If a programmer doesn't keep old copies of his software for
bug or code purposes or for pure nostaglia then too bad. I
keep old copies so I can support my old products even if
they are 20 years old. A good company will do that. Some
of the biggest do that with mega corporations who still
support software going back to the ancient days of like 1991
for example. Its called in bussiness Goodwill. Besides
I still recall alot of aspects of the old versions so as long
as theres at least 1 there is support for it. There are
also many old files and faqs on the older versions. So ..there
we go..
