retroNET - Vintage Culture/Websites/Software

Hey all, I've been hunting for a discontinued software for Nikon cameras. Its Camera Control Pro, not the second one or tether as those are not compatible with my camera.

Could someone point me in the direction to get this retired software please? Thank you

You've probably heard of the famous 'thank you for playing Wing Commander' story. It claims that a programmer on the original Wing Commander was stuck getting an error message when the game unloaded its memory during a quit. Pressed for time, instead of fixing the issue he simply hex edited the memory manager's error reporting to print 'thank you for playing Wing Commander' instead. A funny and relatable story!

...

Wing Commander I fans, meanwhile, have been understandably cautious about the anecdote and particularly the included screenshot. For one thing, Wing Commander I's default install direction isn't c:/wc1 and the game doesn't actually print "Thank You for Playing Wing Commander!" when you quit. Is the story even real?

I love this art. I photocopied it this afternoon and figured you'd might like it.

The "teapot protocol" got brought up today at work during a discussion about response codes. It reminded me of the coffee cam, which actually led to the April fools joke in discussion.
