I miss Microsoft Encarta (2019)
I also remember the CD-ROM era (and before that). It was also the time when software just worked. There was no other way.<p>The content on those CDs was permanent. Software rarely needed an updated, it didn't called home with telemetry and it didn't needed a constant internet connection to work. There wasn't subscription models for most of the software.<p>So you want to do some 3D renderings? Just install this CD with 3DStudio. It works.
