Possessions from the year 2001

While searching for something else, I chanced upon these CDs of VS.NET Beta 1 distributed at a Microsoft seminar in Chennai and a Satyam I-way access card among the objects that I've hoarded.



The CDs were meant to be run on Windows NT.


I read about the Internet (mostly Sevanti Ninan's column in The Hindu) for a couple of years before actually using it for the first time in 1997. Having acquired a RocketMail account, it was a thrill to just send and receive emails. It was a challenge to keep the Hotmail mailbox size below 2MB as that was the storage limit that Hotmail offered back then.
