Cameron Balahan and Helping Define the Fun 90's Tech Scene! ☕️

Among the many cool things Cameron Balahan has done, in the mid-1990’s, he created one of the best sites for tech enthusiasts. He created winshareware.com, a site where you could go and get the latest details on things you can download and run on your Windows machine.

This chat is a trip down memory lane for those of us who started off with the internet in the 1990s. We talk about classic shareware (or nagware?) apps like WinZip and WinRar. We talk about OpenGL and DirectX and how that influenced whether you played Unreal Tournament or Quake. We talk about the Windows registry, connecting to the internet via dial-up, hunting for drivers, AOL CDs, classic video games like Math Blaster, and a whole lot more.This is going to be a great chat, so invite your friends, get some popcorn, and let’s get started!
