My partner is a system administrator specializing in IRIX, the Silicon Graphics version of UNIX operating system. These ancient machines are still in operation at the facility where he works.
Silicon Beach's "Digital Darkroom" was from the late 1980s and was used for cleaning up scanned images, IIRC. I didn't start scanning work until about five years later so I never used it. I used Photoshop from when it was a pre-alpha until the present. However, I find my need for it is so minimal nowadays given what Lightroom can do for what I need that I wonder, sincerely, why I bothered to buy the CS5 upgrade. I've installed it but hardly touched it since. I use "Flare" and a couple of other more pointed "post image rendering" applications a lot more. When it comes to compute power and storage capacity, we're in a totally different world from the late 1980s. My iPod Touch has at least 10x the computing power and storage of anything I owned in the 1980s ... !
