Cool story! Yeah, there seems to be a misinformed adage that when newer software or hardware comes out the older versions or models are automatically obsolete. Chalk it up to society's need to have the latest and greatest.
I run Photoshop 6 on my Blue & White G3 and aside from a couple insignificant differences, it does everything that Photoshop CS ( or 8 ) does at my job. Granted, they've added a few more features since then but so far I've been able to live without them.
Hmm, what other things can I still do on my "obsolete" computer? Sound editing? Check. Animation? Check. FTP? Check. Burn CDs/DVDs? Check. Yep, my old Mac still works just fine!
I'm the same way with cars. I have a '66 Beetle. Hey, four wheels and a seat. Anything more is gratuitous feature bloat.
