Let’s raise a glass to the clunky digs of software past with my personal “Good Riddance” list! First up is Photoshop CS2, which brought agony with its torturous 20-minute wait for a simple filter to render. The “unexpected error” that sneaked up on me after I had poured three hours into a project was infuriating, and don't even get me started on the finicky magnetic lasso tool that somehow managed to grab everything except the actual subject I needed—classic! Honorable mentions that I’m thrilled to leave behind include Windows Movie Maker, where time spent editing felt like a black hole, taking four times longer than the actual filming. Then there was Nero Burning ROM, giving me a heart-stopping moment with its warning of a "buffer underrun" right in the middle of a burning session—thanks for the anxiety! And let’s not forget MS Outlook 2003, which bombarded me with endless “Your mailbox is full” messages, leaving me with serious post-traumatic stress vibes. So, what’s on your list? Which software made you want to toss your PC out a window, and what modern tools or shiny new rigs have saved you from that chaotic past? And hey, drop a victory dance gif here—let’s celebrate our escape!
"What obsolete software do you celebrate NEVER using again? 🔥"
