Does ESRI Still Support ArcVoyager?
I was cleaning out my desk preparing for a move downstairs (doesn’t sound too positive does it, but we are turning my office into a conference room) and I saw a disk for ArcVoyager. Bet some of you might remember that name, I sure had forgotten about it though. Take a look at this great screen shot that ESRI has on the ArcVoyager page (I’m still amazed at how many MS Windows 3.11 screen shots ESRI has still posted on their website and marketing materials).
Anyway, does ESRI still support this program? I mean even though the web page does say, “ArcVoyager was built so that little support would be necessary.” I’m guessing that at some level ESRI is still pushing ArcVoyager.
Of course finding this ArcVoyager disk isn’t as cool as the PC ARC/INFO floppy disk that reader Mapperz emailed me. I have a PC ARC/INFO 3.5.1 CD-ROM disk that I haven’t used in years, but that doesn’t beat 3.5″ floppy PC ARC/INFO.
I think there are 12 PC Arc/Info Floppy Disks. It took around 15-20 mins to install.
No Service Packs or Patches to download,
how long would a 69mb Service Pack take on a 14.4kbps modem take?
Though most New PC’s don’t come with a floppy drive now. Oh Technology don’t well love or hate it.
Now that you’re “the-famous-blogger-almost-hired-by-ESRI”, I would have expected a move “upstairs”
Unless of course this is all a clever ruse, and you are actually heading to Redlands…
Cheers,
Dave
Downstairs means I don’t have to climb the stairs to get to my desk.
As I get older, this becomes a good thing I’ve discovered.
Hey, if you need to load up that old ArcInfo, I still have a set of Win 3.0 Floppies you could use. You would have to track down a 5-1/4″ Drive for them. But atleast all of the technology would be on the same level!
James,
I’m the guy that built named and built ArcVoyager for ESRI when I worked for them back in the mid 90′s. It was originally built for Fulton County, GA. ESRI still has it on their website:
