Could they refuel in parc ferme last year? {Comment #1045} No. The refuelling rules last year are the same as this, except that this year we get told what the weights are and can therefore figure out fuel loads. This is where having an annual comes in handy...

It was the summer of '92. I got my first real C compiler - bought it at the ham fest.
IMG_9939.JPG
And as I recall, those were low-density 5.25" floppies. - Paul Buchheit
5.25 Floppies!!! - Uncle CW™
2.0? - Gabe
Yup, 2.0. It was all downhill from there. For some reason that's still the fastest C compiler I've ever used, even though it was running on a 25 MHz 386. - Paul Buchheit
It cost $11 - Paul Buchheit from iPhone
Wow this is close to when I got Turbo C++ 1.0, maybe? ~1992. - Michael Herf
In 1989 I was entrusted with the first Mac-port of MicroEmacs 3.9e source code (compiled with Aztec C) by a guy who just got hired by Microsoft, and later rose to become one of their division managers (Hi Earle!). It fit on a floppy, but was a dog to download at 1200 baud. - ianf ⌘
Paul, do you ever throw stuff away? :-) - Todd Hoff
I have the very same disks. I was recently reminiscing about them and my inability to throw away tech detritus on SuperUser (http://superuser.com/questio...). - Tom Horn
Turbo C 2.0 was pretty much the pinnacle of C compiler speed. Everything from then on was slower because they keep on adding features. The whole Turbo C is probably smaller than a typical C++ STL Hello World program. - Gabe
Did ya play it till your fingers bled? :) - Patrick Jordan
It was `95 for me, my friend gave me Borland C++ 5.5 and the "Problem Solving and Abstraction in C++" book - Cornelius Toole
which hamfest? - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
I bought Modula-2 for the Amiga in the late 80's and had no clue what I was doing. - Rodfather
I had a somewhat irrational dislike of C back then. So I did Pascal. - Wirehead
I stuck with BASIC variations forever... GFA Basic, AmigaBASIC, STOS, AMOS... until I bought a "Learn C Programming" book around '92. That put me off code entirely. :D - Roger Benningfield
I remember the Turbo C debugger was the first proper IDE I used. That DOS GUI create watches on variables blew my mind. My first departure from printf debugging. - Tom Horn
Borland may not have invented the IDE, but as far as I'm concerned they perfected it. - Gabe
Wow, Turbo Assembler, C++ Framework!! Somewhere I've both on the original Borland box :-) - Luca Perugini from iPhone
I had the same, might still have them tucked somewhere... - Amit Morson
Is Paul a Ham too? .... AKA WA2AAB -> - Charlie Anzman
WA4CB - Chris Baskind
turbo c is the king :) - Vehbi Emiroglu
KA0GQI. I never made it past Technician. - DGentry
Ah, good old Turbo C (Turbo Pascal was good too). I'd have to disagree slightly that it was all downhill after 2.0 -- I thought it was a great product up through 3.1. But they took a serious nosedive in the 4.x period, with the switch to Windows. After that it was all Watcom for me, at least for DOS/Windows games. The tools were ugly, but they worked really well. - Joel Webber
nice! - (jeff)isageek
If I recall, those are writable, too. There's tape over the edge. - Jesse Stay
And KC5PZP here - I'm General class, passed 13wpm back when it was required - Jesse Stay
haha hamfest! i used to get software there all the time when i went with my dad! (he's a HAM) - andy brudtkuhl
1995 National Field Day winners here :-) - Jesse Stay
Jesse - Wondering if one geekdom goes with the other. Passed General class back when you had to appear in person in the NYC Fed Bldg. I was 11 .... Big guy with a cigar watched if you were cheating :) Memories. Baskind ... Why am I not surprised. Think we were separated at birth or something ... what's next?? - Charlie Anzman
I was the Rochester, NY hamfest. I was never a ham though -- we just went for the tech flea market. I always loved overhearing conversations where people referred to each other by their call sign (e.g. "I just had lunch with WA2AAB and KA0GQI"). I guess it was kind of like Twitter ;) - Paul Buchheit
i remember turbo C. What is wrong with me. - anna sauce
Were you part of the old RTI/Apache clique? - anna sauce
I paid much more for ordering Turbo C 1.0 - but it was so exciting to use a real programming language. - Oliver Bouchard
Those were good days and investment as well. - James Stratford
'92? seriously? I was at high school running a pirate ftp site out of my dorm room (ethernet baby!) ME and a buddy were hacking up our own version of dikumud running on the schools sun "server". I don't know when I got my first C compiler, but it must have been < 1990. I remember it came on a disk in a "Teach yourself C" book. Good times. - Joe Beda ()
Joe, this was my "first real C compiler" because I first tried to learn C by downloading some freeware C compiler from a FidoNet BBS along with a "learn C" text file (I was very cheap). The problem is that the compiler was not complete, so half the things in the "learn C" text file didn't compile. C was my first language (I never did Basic or any of that), so I was also learning to program, not just learning C. Needless to say, it was difficult. - Paul Buchheit
I approve of this thread. - Ted Roden
My first C compiler was in a class at a community college around 1989. We used Mix C, which seems to still exist: http://www.mixsoftware.com/product... - Gabe
Paul, exactly - Ham Radio was the original "microblogging" network. Not only were we required to keep our messages short, we couldn't use a real alphabet. Imagine if Twitter were all Morse Code. :-) - Jesse Stay
Hams!!!!! Funny, I just saw this and earlier today I posted a pic of my dad with his gear. http://ff.im/5CH8z He (and many others) is disappointed that learning morse code is no longer required. - Katy S
BTW Paul: those aren't low-density floppies. If those are 360k, they are double-density floppies. Regular low-density floppies held either 160k or 180k depending on whether they were 8 or 9 sectors per track. - Gabe
13 years late to the party (1969), I started using C in 1982. Started with Fortran, 6502 machine language (e.g. assembly language without the compiler), Basic, Cobol. Most of my "coding" is in Excel & HTML these days. - Mitchell Tsai
I had those 'Turbo-C' compiler 5.25" floppies too, Paul! Aw.. souvenirs.. - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Turbo C rocked! Love that compiler. - Diego Barros 
My first C Compiler was Power C on the Commodore 64. http://lyonlabs.org/commodo... Now that's going back a long way. I gave up and went back to assembler. Not many people doing C on the C64 :) - Diego Barros 
Yes, Turbo-C rocked! Turbo-C++ too. And Turbo-Pascal was a revelation! (at least for me: changed my life ;-)) - Thierry R. Andriamirado from email
I used Turbo Pascal. My first C compiler was THINK C (on the Macintosh). - DGentry
