Favorite old tools (was OT? PaintShopPro?)

[John Garison <john -at- garisons -dot- com>]

As I have moved systems over the years, I have also moved my dog-eared 
copy of PSP V3.12 circa 1995. It still works like a champ on XP. And 
since it's an .exe file it doesn't have to be installed. It's very small 
and works very well and does everything I want and has at least one 
feature that few other tools have: the ability to erase a specific color 
from an image. On top of all that, it was free.



Anyone else have favorite old tools they keep lugging along with them?
