I miss the days of Microsoft AutoRoute. No internet connection needed - but you were stuck with the map and routes present in the release version that was on the CD.

Printing was optional and encouraged!

I don't miss the tool, I miss the general vibe and feeling of the late 90s or early 2000s.

CD's for everything, over engineered autorun splash screens, the seeking of mechanical harddrive heads when computing a route, the sense of adventure, and the general positive outlook that consumer tech is working for us, not because of us.

I miss those days.
