Remember when you had to go to a store to plunk down some serious cash to get something like a C compiler and an editor?
I wondered if that was still true so I checked Microcenter's site. The closest approximation was some web design software.
@craigmaloney While my friends pirated copies of Turbo C, I managed to find an affordable compiler: Mix Power C. I could even get the source for the libraries. The debuger was a little weird, but worked well enough. I can't believe it is still around. Those prices are the prices I paid back in the day.

@cstanhope funnily enough I acquired the manual for this at a giveaway table just recently. And yes, I was floored they were still around. Almost felt like sending them some money to pick up the software just to see what they would send me.
