A lot of articles talk about older tech, and especially when there's a congruence of old tech and new tech, because there are two types of Slashdot readers who are interested in them. The first are those of us who have been around for all those decades and have a nostalgia for these topics or are interested in the ways the old stuff is being revived. The second are members of the younger generations who want to learn about the old tech for historical reasons, to challenge themselves, or just aesthetic purposes.

The incredible part about being able to run the Encarta CD on Windows 10 wasn't that the CD drive read the disk. It's that Windows 10 had no problem installing and running the software.
