[BrunoPuntzJones]

Have some games on my archive drive that go back as far as 84 (even ask for RGB or composite monitor when i run them ).

I'll get around to playing them again...as far as useless? right now probably old copies of dos or windows, like 3.3 for dos and 1.x for windows. don't take up any space so no reason to delete them

 

[Ionizer86]

ICQ 2001B

Biggest, bloatiest, IM client ever......I never use it anymore 'cuz Trillian connects me to all 4 major IM networks....dunno why I haven't uninstalled it yet.....

 

Hyperterminal

 

[swayinOtis]

it's not installed but i have this absolutely hilarious piece of software from microsoft called "Bob." it came with my micron pc back in 1995. microsoft thought "bob" was the wave of the future. it was an absolute joke. it's basically a goofy shell that guides people around the PC. it was such a huge bust.

it's still in the shrink wrap if anyone wants to buy it.

 

[Hyperblaze]

I'd have to say Windows

And the fact that I work for them means what in regards to the topic at hand?

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

do you really work for AOL?

 

[Czar]

Eudora4, not useless though, still use it.

If it would be useless software then I dont have a clue, I have over 150gb disk space and I dont have a clue whats taken up most of the space

 

[KokomoGST]

An old XServer prog from my college days... almost completely useless since my free webhost doesn't allow that kinda stuff...

You probably have free AOL service, and probably have AOL installed.

[yakko]

I do not work directly for them but for an outsource company. Just so you know that most times when you have a bad experience with someone on the phone at AOL it is an internal person you are dealing with. Our center is so damn good that we are the only ones handling AOL cable calls. I do not get AOL for free and the main reason I have it installed is for testing purposes.

 

[Geekbabe]

probably all my Quake II and III stuff ..lol when I think of all the billable hours wasted on gaming
