- I don't, because I still have it.

I could run a 68XXX Mac emulator, but I don't own any software, and I don't want to pirate it.

I can't run the Microsoft Virtual PC 2004, though It would let me run any software that didn't require external ports all the way back to DOS 1.0...

In reality, if it does what I want, who cares how old it is. I could run Microsoft Office 2000 (the last before the "phone home" software) if I wanted to, but I hate the <bleeping> pop-ups all the time. Besides Word 97 outputs HTML, which 2000 doesn't. I will not run "phone home" software at all.

But things like PowerDVD 5 work fine (came with an external DVD drive), and calibre and sigil and an old version of Excel, and all sorts of old games (I don't need fancy graphics, and I no longer have the time or interest in long continuing games). I'd rather take the upgrade costs and spend another night in Florida in the winter with it.

But that's just me...
