Working link to (I hope) the same document: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1MD-CgzODFWzdpnYXr8bE...
Correct, that's the slideshow version. Let me know if that isn't working and I'll post a PDF snapshot
Should have been a PDF to start with.

#12No Klik & Play?! It was the reason I can say I was building and distributing my own games back in 5th grade! No Lego Mindstorms!? I was building Robots with six degrees of freedom in middle school!
Mindstorms was pretty much a variant of Scratch. Never heard of Klik&Play - I'll check it out, thanks.

#13PSA:
The last time I opened this presentation there were a bunch of speaker notes with incredibly insightful additional details and trivia attached. A picture might be a thousand words, but the notes added insightful context that the picture couldn't add itself.
If anyone can get in touch with the owner of this document, please let them know the speaker notes have been lost. They really need to be re-added!
Unfortunately I didn't download a copy of the old version D':

It might be that the Google docs throttling mode might just drop those extras. Check back when it's not popular?

#16Thanks for posting this! This is the kind of content I love to see on HN. Wow, Visual Basic... It takes me back to my AOL proggie days!
If you're feeling nostalgic - just create some VBA, amazing how it's hardly changed... This picture taken from Word 2016 a few seconds ago: https://i.imgur.com/w3qX8Oa.png

Mindstorm is actually a variant of Labview (by National instruments) - which is a flow based prog environment. Different from scratch and it's clones.

VS was in there. +1 for Borland, I loved their C++ debugger.

I had Klik & Play back on Windows 3.1! (And then later The Games Factory on '95.) It was great for a little while but I rapidly got to the point where it felt like it was getting in my way rather than making things easier.
I /wish/ I'd had Lego Mindstorms, always wanted some but we could never afford it.

The Mindstorms that I remember (~2004, on the RCX 2.0) was nothing like LabVIEW; I haven't played with Scratch, but from what people have shown me of it, it is very similar to how I remember Mindstorms.
