What is the oldest piece of software you still use regularly?
The Linux kernel I think
Ranish partition manager. Started some time around the 2001 build.
>>45353396
Windows
gcc
Probably the firmware of the LED signs on the bus I ride to go to work.
Launchy
Logger Pro
Winamp 2
pvcs tracker at work, for no good reason at all
Debian stable
>>45353396
What do you mean by oldest? When it came out or what version I am using?
>>45353477
>not having a rolling release operating system
Mavis Beacon
>>45353396
A private runescape server, running a client from the early 200's
your mom
>>45353396
You're mom.
>>45353588
>early 200s
>>45353649
Duh, runescape takes place even before the middle ages
ACDSee version from 2000 I think.
It's fast and does what I want it to do, better than stock win7 photo viewer.
It is good enough for me.
>>45353751
What makes it better than Irfanview?
Well I only use it every couple of months, but akabak is pretty nice.
Latest version only has a 16bit build available
Old as in last modified or first started?
>>45353791
I've been using it for so long that I don't even remember.
Does GNUplot count?
>>45353851
It's just gnuplot not GNUplot. Octave is GNU's plotting program.
>>45353396
Firefox = Mozilla = Netscape = Mosaic
xterm maybe?
Emacs was started in 84. Original was in the 70's.
I still use MS Office 2003
It's compatible with docx and starts in about a second, with none of the bloat of Libreoffice and never versions of MS Office
MS Word even displays two pages onscreen at once on wide screen monitors, which is impressive considering how uncommon wide screen monitors were in 2003
TL;DR MS Office 2003 masterrace
>>45354932
>XP
>office 2003
>2014
>>45355099
>implying that's a picture I took and not some random one I got off Google
Git gud
Simcity 2000
Spyro the dragon
Just software wise, winamp I guess.
Game wise, Duke Nukem 3D.
>>45354932
>MS Office 2003
Easily the best version of Office. Tell me a single feature that newer versions have.
Office365 cloudshit doesn't count.
The software that runs a lot of the telecommunication network you use to access the Internet was written in the late 1970's/80's
>>45355548
>Tell me a single feature that newer versions have.
Live Preview?
>>45355548
2013 or whatever it is has smooth animations which look really nice
>>45353396
A few times a week.
When I had a job they had me using AutoCAD 2002, I'm so use to it I struggle with the latest version
>>45353892
Fyi, octave tend to use gnuplot for plotting.
Sid Meier's SimGolf
ACDSee Classic. Still can't find an adequate replacement. The alternatives all have some lacking feature or poorly implemented basic function.
>>45353396
Jstrip
>>45354062
This. And it's still more modern in the latest release than most projects
>>45353396
The code behind mspaint has remained pretty much unchanged since its inception.
>>45355589
>live preview
What is it?
Why do I even need it?
>>45355623
>tfw you bought it on steam and lost the disc so you cant do resolution hacks
>>45355670
Try hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/
>>45353463
I'm gonna go with Winamp, too, except that I'm using 5.6.
I tried the old ones, but it turns out that vast strides have been made in MP3 playback; it sounded like ass.
>>45355693
> steam
why?
>>45355548
Multithreading, PDF, Document Inspector, Strict OOXML, SmartArt, Yammer integration.
>>45355710
>lost the disc
did you not read that part?
>>45355638
Of all the programs autocad is easily the most backward compatible. It basically hasnt changed since the 90s except they add a new feature every year to make workflow 0.1% faster. You can also remove the ribbon and change to classic interface.
GNU
spacemonger 1.4
even the later versions aren't better, even though it has some annoying bugs, it's still the best
>>45355770
>>45355548
Sparklines, Improved pivot tables, Formulas and conditional formatting, PowerPivot, AutoFill and Flash Fill.
GNU Emacs
>>45353396
msdos
Winamp? Is this /g/ or the hipster bandwagon? Get on "Foobar" you faggots
Wow, /g/ is literally filled with underage bans at the moment.
My oldest pieces of software are emacs, BLAS, LINPACK, MATLAB, and shitloads of drivers.
winrar (i right clic ->extract to)
>>45353588
Damn mate let me play on it
I'll rek u in the wild
>>45355776
I bought the whole roller coaster tycoon trilogy from the pirate bay.
SimAnt on a A21 Thinkpad.
>>45355928
I thought I looked there and there wasnt any results. Maybe I spelled it wrong.
Looks like i'll treat myself to the piratebay black friday sale then

not sure if this is the one I have, as it looks like it has more stuff than mine, but basically the same thing. I might have to delete mine and get this one...
>>45355874
lel say that to me irl ill dominate u in wildly nerd
>>45353588
let /g/ /v/ and /b/ battle it out on there. link pls
It's not perfect, but I haven't found anything better.
>>45355623
I remember playing this on my old laptop, 550 MHz Pentium III, 64MB RAM, 12GB HDD. Such a beast.
Commodore B.A.S.I.C.
on my C-64
>>45353396
winamp and acdsee v2.41

>>45356291
cool edit 1.5

>>45355548
A relatively good equation writer. Equation Writer 3.0 sucks.
>>45355548
OpenType features support
My comic reader. I had broken for Mountain Lion but then it started working normally again for Mavericks. Original code is pretty quality for having lasted this long.
>>45356565
>Being this mad.
>>45353396
Python IDLE version from like 7 years ago
>>45356565
Are you doing this at every mention of OS X?
That's really pathetic. I really hope you have a family to go spend time with later today.
>>45356565
>tfw also go on /fa/ and /cm/ but don't use anything apple
if ganoo loonix wasn't a buggy hell on Macs then I'd get a Mac though to be honest
>>45356624

Source SDK - Hammer Map Editor (Not sure about this one)
Dalet
I wonder if there's a catalog of old software that works on recent windows versions.
I used to love the UI of a CD player on Windows 98... I can only remember that, not the name or anything.
>>45356291
The newer versions of Audacity has paulstretch built in.
Also I'm assuming video games don't count.
>>45355660
Ayyy. Hey if you could do me a favor and try to find the video that plays when you exit the game game and upload it to something for me that would be great. Lost my disk and cba to pirate. Need it for an audio project
>>45355710
Don't act like steam isn't great
>>45353477
10/10
Probably Emacs or some terminal based program like ls or mv.
>>45353396
GNU Emacs
Total Commander
- Illustrator 9 (2000)
- Paint (2001)
- Photoshop 7.0 (2002)
