What's the oldest program on your computer that you still use?

[IronWing]

Leech FTP - last updated 1999

 

[FleshLight]

Counter-Strike 1.6

 

[TruePaige]

DOS? NES (via...um..a special program. )

 

[Crusty]

Any number of the programs in the GNU toolset

 

[nonameo]

Mine's sitting on a cuneiform tablet.

 

[Ayah]

Either DVD shrink or DVD Decrypter.

 

[Crono]

Including games, it would have to be Total Annihilation or maybe Gateway II: Homeworld (somewhere on my hard drive, haven't played it in a while).

 

[I Saw OJ]

Windows XP

 

[sswingle]

I use Leech FTP as well. Most likely the oldest program I use as well.

notepad?

I've been reading a lot about wedge computing lately. Wedge servers are supposed to be the next big thing in enterprise class productivity connectivity solutioning systems.

Ultima Online, though it gets patches and new expansions fairly often, so don't know if that counts.

The oldest, unupdated app would probably be AutoCAD 2000. I don't use it that much, but whenever I want to plan something like furniture placement, or where I'd like to build a wall, I'll use it. I tried the latest autocad and I was not impressed. 2000 is just more user friendly and intuitive. 2009 (I think that's the latest) is very flaky and jumpy, and 3D stuff is messed up.

 

[Q]

Roller Coaster Tycoon

 

[Leros]

TeraTerm Pro.

Its like HyperTermnal. Hasn't been updated in quite a while.

Leech FTP was wonderful back in the FXP days.

 

[So]

Sim City 2000. I don't use it regularly, but it gets fired up about once every six months.

I know I can still run some DOS games with DOSbox, but most of them now have a Win95/98 version now, so its not an issue. Doom has Doom95, Duke 3D has a Win32 executable. Master of Orion 2 ran fine in DOS and Win95 right off the disc.

I wonder if I can get BASIC programs running. Would love some Nibbles right about now.

 

[l0cke]

Half-life 2 probably.

 

[Miramonti]

WinShade, circa 1998.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Castle of the Winds.

 

[dennilfloss]

Might And Magic VI (1998).

 

[iGas]

Vi

 

[GeekDrew]

Office 2003.
