Been awhile since I've been around but I couldn't find anything like this recently.
Does anyone use a retro machine for everyday computing tasks (aside from gaming)?
Everytime an old-school author comes up in the news saying they use some ancient program for writing (GRRM most recently) it makes me wonder if anyone here uses something old for random tasks?
I have a period-correct version of Office installed on all of my retro machines, just in case I need to do something while I'm working on them. My old Macs all have productivity software. However, I have an Office365 subscription so I've got the most up to date and modern version of Office available on any of my modern machines.
I've been thinking of doing a personal "30 days with an old machine" experiment and see if I can get by with an old non-internet-connected machine for all of my other everyday tasks.
Anyone else?
