dreema at 02:45pm on 19/01/2003Is there such a thing??
I still use eudora 305 light as an emailler, cos its small, quick, and is so bloodyminded in its handling of html and attachments, there's next to no risk of having it open something evil (like OE has a habit of doing)
I still use a PalmIII, cos I cant justify upgrading it to anything fancier, it does what I need it to.
My phones are years old now, superceded many times, but they still work, so why bother upgrading them?
I don't like XP, its interface is too girlie for a start, and even if you turn off all the extraeneous crap, it's still too different from 2k for me to support with any confidence.
Would this count as a sort of ludditism? Refusing to upgrade to the latest and greatest and newest? Refusing to accept the inevitable?
Hmm.
