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Am I the only one who still relies on outdated software for daily work?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?

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

Paint Shop Pro 4.12 and 7.04 and 8.1 and 9.01

Due to popularity, powerful features and ease of use, here are: Paint Shop Pro 4.12 and 7.04 and 8.1 and 9.01 These are all free, legal and fully functional. These work flawlessly on all versions of Windows from 7 to 11. Paint Shop Pro 4.12 and if memory serves, 7.04 also work on Windows XP...

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

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.).

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.
