does anyone have the old SQL server versions?

I would really love to see how the old SQL server versions looked like ..I
would love to get a copy to install and see what it looked like..
Any verion prior to 7.0. Can anyone upload it to their site if its legal to
download ?
ThanksCheck out www.ebay.com for SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0. You should determine for
yourself that any software you purchase is genuine and legal.

6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 2000 & 2005 (beta) and I really don't want to go back
prior to 7.0 now (I've been spoilt). Can't wait to start plugging away
on Yukon production boxes (up until now it's been only "play" instances)
- I find Yukon a really exciting new version (with a fair bit of
potential for abuse, i.e. CLR integration - good for some things like
user-defined aggregates but should be used with extreme care methinks).
