Newer is not always better - PhotoCamel

Tired of new software slowing down your machine? Sometimes old versions are better, and Oldversion.com I find invaluable for picking up older versions of very good programs, for free!

Probably no different, especially if they're 16-bit apps. It's a great site, though.

I have a whole suite of ACD (Call Center telephony junk) that is all deprecated, 16-bit junk that we have to use at work since the customer won't pay to upgrade. It's pretty much become hilarious - we have to maintain a Win95 box just so some functionality of system can work. If it breaks, the vendor is like, "Uhhm, yeah. We discontinued support for that product back '99."

Yes, BUT: How much of what we do in word processors today could really be done using WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS?

Well, that's sort of is my point. Think of "the car a mechanic drives."
