Anyone Else Still Using Old Software Every Day?

Hi

I still use an old image editor from the early 2000s because it’s fast, simple, and I know every shortcut by heart. I've tried newer programs, but I always end up going back.

Am I the only one who still relies on outdated software for daily work? What old applications can you simply not give up?

spammer to be

I use PSP 7.04 and play a bunch of old games.

Windows 7.

Another PSP 7.04 user here

Still got the original packaging and everything.....

What image editor is that? I started writing my web site in 2004, and it is still around. I use HTML-Kit, which was released in 1997, to create and updated the web site. For the most part, I stopped using images on my web site, because everyone kept stealing them. I switched to special drawings that are difficult to copy/reproduce.

The year 2000, was not that long ago. I remember it well. One week into the year 2000, my appendix went bad and knocked me to the ground. They found cancer in the appendix and I had to go through another operation (right hemicolectomy). Now I am cancer free. Overall, it was a good year.

I currently use IrFanview for graphic editing, which was released on June 1, 1993. IrFanview is still available for download. Plus, I have lots of programs that go back a long way. Filezilla is now 25 years old and still very popular. I also still use ZonerDraw, which is 20-25 years old. Do you run anything using DOSBox? That allows you to run many of the old DOS based programs. I often run HamCalc (GWBasic) under DOSBox. HamCalc was introduced in the 80's and was continuously updated until 2011. It still runs fine.

I still have a old SubNote laptop (40MB hard drive) that runs Windows 3.1 and all of it's associated programs (MS Office Suite with MSDraw, Turbo C, GWBasic, etc.).

MS Office 2007...Outlook, Excel and Word. One or more of them nearly every day. They meet my daily needs.

I use all of the following virtually every day.

Office 2010;

Photoshop CS2 Version 9.0; from 2005.

MP3 Gain 1.2.5; from 2006

EncSpot 2.2 (an mp3 analyzer); from 2005

Audacity; I'm on a recent version but should have stayed with a 15 year old version. The new version introduces unnecessary steps. It wasn't broke, so they fixed it.

I use Office 2010 regularly. It does more than I'll ever need, and since I already own it, the price is right.
