what is the oldest program you still currently use daily? it should be something that's basically retro and obsolete but you just can't seem to move on from. "windows" only counts if you're posting from windows 95 in 2014.

for example, i have been using winamp since 1998 or so, and never upgraded past 2.8. suits all my music needs so far.



i also use eudora as my email client and have since probably 1995 or 96. sometimes i use the built-in windows 8.1 email app just for a quick response, but otherwise, good ol eudora does the trick.



any ancient websites you still visit regularly? i've been going to https://www.straightdope.com since the late 90s almost every day

let's be old curmudgeons and :bahgawd: at these new fangled "apps" the kids are always talking about

I still have to log onto windows 95 systems to update janky VB5 code from 15 years ago at my job. My company still uses DOS everywhere, it's the worst man.

The computer I'm currently posting from (Sitting on my desk in my classroom) runs Windows 98. They finally got rid of the last one that ran Win 95 last year...
