So true — and so annoying. Most people follow the axiom, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Software designers follow the axiom, “If it ain’t broke, let’s fiddle around with it until it is.”
Another annoying aspect of the “upgrade” mania is constantly being told that you need to download the latest version of QuickTime, or whatever, to play an audio or visual file.
The article has been pushed into a tiny little column and is lightly spread over six pages. The website isn’t as bad as it could be but there’s still too much crap around it. Talk about irony.
I still use PSP 7 and love it. I haven’t used Winamp for years (about the time of v2.95 probably). I am so glad that foobar2000 exists.
I hate the newer versions of Adobe Reader with a vengeance. It’s a file viewer for heavens sake, why 22+mb?
I gave up on Real Player and Quick Time a long time ago and now use the “Alternative” versions.
