Any Abandonware HW or SW that you go on using

This could be some DOS game that you play,or some gadget like an Apple Newton for instance - something that the mainstream have since well abandoned. It may not necessarily be IT related.

It's just software or hardware that's no longer supported by the company that made it (so abandoned). Usually I've heard it refer to games where the copyright owner isn't bothered pursuing cases of illegal distribution because there's no money to be made selling it anymore but anything that fits into a similar category, I guess.

yes getting warm. but, a throwaway sort of thread of mine. too tired to do something else. more for fun than anything.

I suppose theres a lot of us doing this without realising. There comes an age where we just dont care as much. As a result life starts to pass us by. I listen to a podcast and now and then they have a flashback tune. Some of these are from 2008. Feck sake thats only just happened! Flashback? Try 1990!

A lot of the equipment I use at work is Windows NT based. It only gets awkward when you realise it doesn't support USB, so we use 3.5 inch floppies for some data transfer.

There is a debug pc running windows 3.1 but it's not used that often.

Oh I doubt that. I'm sure someone is still nurturing a microVax running VMS.

I use a program from one of those shareware CD's you used to get with PC magazines, that hasn't been updated since around 95-97, that snaps windows back from the edge of the screen (so you don't lose them behind the taskbar or such); it's called Shove-It.

It must have been the very first family computer/PC we got, that we started using it on, and it's been copy-pasted between operating system and computer updates ever since, without ever breaking, for (fúcking hell..can't believe it's that long ago) not far off 20 years now.

I liked NT. I would totally use it now if it were a viable option
