Controversial?

Well everything else in the world is already living to that principle so no surprise they are also applying it to software. However the problem with that is if the world stopped changing then a lot less money would roll in the world market and economic systems and the higher ups wouldn't like that because it would mean they would lose money as currently common folk are just atm's for the companies owned by the ultra wealth as they don't call us "customers" anymore now days but "consumers". Notice the weight on the that last word? But seems I went a bit off topic, but we can say that a lot of things are related in some way or another.

Exactly.

There are no more factories producing buggy whips. Monochrome CRT TVs running on tubes are no longer manufactured. Cars don't have 8-track tape players. Things change, technology advances. Newer and shinier always overcomes old and tired. Deal with it.

Your analogies are a red herring. Deal with that.

SO adversarial, and in-yer-face. Been getting out of bed the wrong side this week, have we?

Goodness me...

I guess a good part of the reason I like older tech & software so much is down to my being a 'late-starter' with the 'techy' side of things.....and realising just how much good stuff I'd missed out on in the past. That, and the fact that I love seeing how far you CAN 'push' older gear, and finding out just what it's still capable of.

The 'latest & greatest' has never really held much appeal for me. That's an odd thing to admit to on ANY kind of computer tech forum, ain't it?

Lolololol...!!
