HP van Braam

I'm getting pretty close to finishing my first video on the ubiquity of win16 APIs in 90s computing.

The main bit of research that I'm having a little trouble with is the exact pricing for the SDKs for #solaris, #aix, and #hpux from the mid 90s

Does anyone have a link, or receipts, of purchases, catalogues, etc of things like that?

@hp I wonder if some are preserved at https://www.1000bit.it/adverts.asp ?

@nina_kali_nina Ohhh, I didn't know about that site! Thanks!

I've been able to get pretty solid pricing on windows, os/2, and Solaris.

Aix and HPUX remain elusive.

Takeaway so far: os/2 was way cheaper than I thought! If it wasn't for Borland it'd be cheaper to build for warp than windows 3!

That really surprised me
