Software just feels so much more ephemeral than hardware. I haven't yet met a single 'old software enthusiast' in my life, yet there are so many enthusiasts for older hardware. | ||

I am both a hardware and software enthusiast. Tons of DOS, Windows, and OS/2 software hanging around. While I don’t use them everyday, I do use them. From pre-Microsoft Visio to WordStar and MS Works for DOS, the applications are simple, powerful, and pleasing to use. While I don’t recommend anyone pull out Zenith 8bit and fire up COBOL-80 or LISP-80, they are interesting. Testing yourself in 64k is quite a challenge. The retro community is huge and varied. If it exists, someone is really into it. | ||

I have a pet passion for an old simulation language called Dynamo. I think you will find people passionate about LISP and people that care about COBOL, and C is already multiple decades old. | ||

Doesn't retro gaming count? | ||
