I recently purchased a new Acer Desktop machine for my office, and while most of the applications I’ve installed on it are relatively modern, the following two really stood out.<\/p>\n

For listening to mp3s, I still use Winamp 2.08, released on January 3, 1999. I’ve tried newer versions a few times but this version does everything I need, and it uses almost no CPU cycles.<\/p>\n

For basic picture manipulation (resizing and compressing, mostly) I use LView Pro 1.D2, designed for “Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, and Windows 3.1 with Win32s 1.30 or newer”. Copyright 1996. I use Photoshop for all my heavy lifting, but for really quick edits, LView does the trick. The only downside is it doesn’t support PNG files (it predates them).<\/p>\n
