When I were new to desktop computers (needed one for the company desk for word purposes), there was a choice of software.
Slowly but surely over the years the not commercial stuff from the major companies has disappeared. Admittedly there's a choice of browser and email client whatever Microsoft would have you believe), but where have all the oddballs gone.
The Open University has stopped updating OpenOffice (though Libre Office is still alive and well). A lot of photo software has disappeared. Microsoft is dropping long standing bits and pieces.
Or am I just the person who skedaddled off to Netscape as a protest as soon as the computer was up and running and have continued in that line of thinking ever since. Trouble is I don't have the technical skills (or ability to learn coding) to continue the line of protest.
