When I consult other long-time Mac users, I get a list of software to which they cling, some of which continues to receive compatibility updates, but is otherwise frozen with features from several years to a decade ago. It’s not that I’m into artisanally handcrafted 1s and 0s, though-it’s that nothing has appeared that provides the specific functionality I want, much less paired with improvements. And my favorite new iOS app is the one-bit photography program BitCam.
When I need to muck about with CSS for a Web page, I fire up software left behind years ago by its developer. My personal finance program has “2007” in its name. My email program doesn’t display HTML and doesn’t support IMAP. Scratch the surface, and I’m a man out of time. I’ve got an iPhone 6s, a one-port MacBook, and an iPad Pro, and I spend my days typing at a walking desk-a standing desk with a treadmill underneath. In some ways, you wouldn’t suspect me of being out of date.
