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.

How long before you start having to nest VMs, do you think (-:?

Lebanon is smaller than Wales but they have taken on one million refugees and
they don't talk about it as much as we seem to here in this country.
