        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..
