Ditto. There are so many old tech things I wish I could keep using.
Actually, you can in VMs. However, hardwares and other fast changing
technologies are the problems. I'm an old fart and old school too.

I have several VMs with older versions of Windows, mainly to check my
website with older Firefox and MSIE. These include XP, 2000 (2), ME, and
95 (2).

The XP VM has IECollection (https://utilu.com/IECollection/) which
provides IE 8, 7, 6, 5.5, 5, 4, 3.03, 3.01, 3, 2.1, and 1.5 (although
versions before 3 don't work on modern shared hosting). Note that v1.0
require Win 95 or NT 4.

Actually I've found that even IE 8 has difficulty with a lot of sites
today - it's essentially useless. So basically a Windows XP user has no
choice but to use something like Firefox or Chrome, and even then, the
compatible browser versions are limited.
