I often say the one thing I learned about computers in 1992 that I still use, and is still true, is that what ever you buy today will be obosolete in 3 years, and the same goes with software, (actully I have one program that was written for win95 and I bought in 1995, that I still use almost every day, and that is winfax for win 95, since I have kept my hourly billing on it as a faxed document since 1995 but the OS it ran on is no longer avail, good thing it still runs using other M$products) and I still use pine when I ssh into a shell account, and it has been around (without much change that I can see)
