NewsBin History

NewsBin was first released as shareware in 1995 in the Indiana State University
shareware libraries in the Winsock section.

On October 24, 1997, our website newsbin.com went live and we started hosting the downloads 
ourselves and tried to get serious about making some extra cash.  Here is a flashback to
what our website looked like in November, 1998.  Ouch!
