Too late for me.. Pegasus Mail 2.4, Publisher 2013, Finale 2011, etc.
Tell me you're 'that guy' without telling me you are already doing it.

I don't have my S-100 bus CP/M machine anymore.
@davidgerard why limit it to only 10 years? I know at least one 30 year-old system running 40 year-old software that does useful work.

@davidgerard i already still run 10.6.8 on a 2006 iMac, that's around 20 years old almost... running an almost 17 year old operating system (more like almost 15 years old if you count the fact it's an update released in 2011 and not the original 2009 release)
@mrmasterkeyboard @davidgerard Ayup. Old Audacity on 10.6 on an otherwise retired 1st gen MacBook now named "Tape Monitor 2" because it's connected to that by a 1st gen Griffin iMic and has been useful to me in that position since 2009 for ripping records and tapes (the rest of the hi-fi system dates from the 1980s)
@hairyvisionary @mrmasterkeyboard when i got a shitty Ion usb turntabe, it came with Audacity for Mac and Windows on a CD
