Just a silly curiosity but I wodered what the oldest program that people have and still use.
Mines a label program dated April 1990, still on its original 51/4 disc. Admittedly its only used 2 or 3 times a year.

I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

Haven't used it in a while, but I've got a C64 emulator. Not sure if the games are original or, but if they are that would be early '80s

Hi
I have a Battle Chess installed from 1988 and Rescue Rover from 1994.
DOS games obviously, but still run in XP.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
I still use ACDSee v3.0 (an image viewer) which was released in the mid- to late-90s.
And I have PicaView (which adds image thumbnails to the Explorer context menu) on my Windows XP machines (it doesn't work with Vista onwards). Apparently that came out in 1995!0
