I’ve been looking for this for awhile now, and I’m convinced there is no copy of it anywhere on the web.

Hence, I’m posting this as a shout out to hope that some (ex) Microsoft employee still has a copy on their hard drives.

What I’m looking for is the original Macromedia Shockwave “interactive” demo for Windows CE handheld devices.

It was originally hosted at this URL: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsce/hpc/tryit/shocked.htm

Sadly, no archive out there has a copy. Back in the day, it was much harder to archive active/plugin content from web sites – we had much cruder tools, and it was a lot more hacker-grade. Keep in mind it was a Macromedia Shockwave demo… before Adobe acquired Macromedia, and long before they made a “thinner” version for lower-end PCs, that you may know as Shockwave Flash, or Adobe Flash.

Why?

Mostly for history. It was the first interactive demo of a mobile operating system. You could use the Windows CE user interface from inside a web browser, and it is much more easy to share than boxing up a Windows CE 2.11 handheld and sending it to someone to try out.

So, if you have a copy, let me know.
