Does anyone here currently use their old, old machines to create stuff? If yes, what do you use and do?

I used FastTracker II for quite a few years while I was learning and experimenting with music, maybe 98-05? It's installed and ready to go on my P4 machine, but I haven't taken the time to try and compose any chiptunes on it yet. Soon~

Sometimes I use Office 4.3 or 97 to make clipart animations... though I kinda cheat and just FTP the files to my main machine and edit there. Do play around with Paint and Photoshop 3.05 in Windows 3.11 and Photoshop 6.0 in 95 sometimes.

I used Cakewalk 3.0 Professional in Windows 3.1 with a fully expanded original AWE32 ISA sound card. My midi controller keyboard was a Roland PC-200 MK II. I did the bulk of my music writing with that setup for a few years.

I don't use vintage modeling programs as their UIs and abilities are archaic and don't age well but I do still use CoolEdit 1.3x/96 and Paint Shop Pro 4/5.

I'm active in the demo- & chiptune-scenes on many platforms, and I use my P233+AWE64+GUS PnP+Impulse Tracker for "modern" music production too (as a MIDI sequencer for hardware synths.) Yes, Impulse Tracker does MIDI very well. 😀

I use ProfessionalWrite for DOS and MS Works for Win 3.x on a 486 sometimes because nostalgia.

Also vim never gets old.

Haha I remember using Fasttracker, a lot of pleasant memories:)

Same here, FT2.08 and IT2.14 always ready! Too little time to spare though 🙁

Another one.
