Old Hack

[Rob Maskell]

Hi I started LabVIEW with LV .9 Beta which was a demo released by NI in 1986. Saw this article in Byte August I think, and faxed in for a copy and played, had a big input to how LV evolved as Jeff K is a good friend, although I haven't seen the lovely man for some time now, still playing sort of, not much time these days and I have staff that are a lot better than me also. Been through all the versions, still like LV 6.1 the best, as it is simple, suits my mind well. I still have copies of all versions almost, both MAC and PC, anyone want them.?? I am stopping all this stuff shortly, been programming for 40 years almost, time to go fishing. All the best, all you LabVIEW gods.

Adapted from The Tempest, by William Shakespeare

Ye LVs (elves) of nodes, wires, shift registers, and tunnels;

And ye that on the wires with custom probe

Do chase the flowing data, and do show it

err it ebs again; you VIs that

By moonshine do the carry data from diagram to panel,

Whereof we view its bytes; and you whose pastime

Is to make indicators light, that rejoice

To see the waveform charted; you, by whose aid,
