Software moves on at a break-neck pace these days--version numbers clock up ever quicker as vendors try to market their apps as the latest and greatest.

I'm hoping that I haven't reached the crusty age where everything built after my time is "just bloat"
. I'd have something modern, but the ERP app isn't certified with anything newer.
- I still use microsoft paint extensively.
- Nethack from time to time
- Power defragmenter - costs nothing, works as well as any commercial product. Google it.
- I still use windows XP at work
- VI. Vi forever!!
Other than that, I like to try the latest and greatest of everything. That's the fun part.
