I once came across a spreadsheet tool that was way better than Excel. It had infinite rows and columns and you can do multi-freezed rows so that one section stayed on top until the next section was in view to replace it. I couldn't remember where I saw that though.

For viewing only, I used VuePrint. It's now available for free and it's still very good.

Gedea and Encarta. The old times of Encyclopaedias on CD, when there was no Internet connection at all (the existing services costed about a quarter of the average monthly wage for 64kbps ISDN or 1€/minute for 56k PSTN) nor wikipedia or similar.

Thinking about it, there were loads of 'em back in the DOS days: "BRIEF - the Programmer's Editor", "XTree Gold", "Norton Utilities" (before they were sold to Symantec), "MASM", ... all damn good.

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Oh YES! BRIEF was great. I liked PC Tools, it allowed me to have multiple desktops inside Windows for WorkGroups.

My toothbrush. I really enjoy my new dentures :cool::cool:

If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

MS Access - it was a great tool in its day.

VEdit loved it. Now Notepad ++ does what I need.

I still use that one.

I miss BRIEF, you could have all kinds of macros (written in a c-like script).

WS FTP Pro - 16 bit version. When it became too much trouble to get it to run, I tried a few other FTP programs but found none that I liked. In the end I wrote my own. :)
