If it Ain't Broke...
March 05, 2008
Around here at the weekly staff meetings we have "Tool Time" where staff members discuss their favorite tools. While I do find my share of new online tools and gadgets to tinker with, I also go back in time a lot looking for old versions of software or utilities that "just worked."
Thankfully I found this great site the other day, OldVersion.com, that consolidates some of the best old software versions in one place. Need an older version of Firefox, or do you reminisce about Internet Explorer 1.0? You can get either of those programs here. It's fun to download Internet Explorer 1.0 and see the pop up that says: "Internet Explorer 1.0 requires Windows 95." Some people on the OldVersion.com forums are looking for Windows 3.11. Windows 3.11? I remember teaching some people a long time ago how to use that on an old computer, donated to our non-profit organization (c. 1997). That was back when people figured they should take classes to learn about PCs.
Some really useful stuff includes a number of IrfanView (simple image-viewer and editor) versions, and multiple old AIM versions; which can come in handy if your machine has trouble handling the newest AIM software.
While you're visiting the site, I highly recommend getting one new version of a program: Ad Aware. Ad Aware has been an old security standby for years. It's a quick download and is great for preventing malicious scripts and other malware from infecting your computer. Happy downloading.

I've used this site to find older versions of AIM and it's a Godsend.
