I'd say Adobe Illustrator -- since 2005. Mostly for preliminary work.

Norton Anti-virus since the early 90's.

Either that or Mosaic / Netscape / Firefox since around the same time.

Battlefield 2: 2005 -

AVG: ~2003 - 2011
It could've been as far back 2002, it could've been later, I don't remember.
I realised I tell AVG to **** off every time it asked to update or started a scan, so figured I should switch to something else. No regrets so far.

I've played Battlefield 2 on-and-off since Christmas 2005 and the demo from summer 2005 until that Christmas, but I haven't got around to buying Battlefield 3 so I won't say I've stopped using it yet (and Project Reality will probably stay installed anyway).

umn... wiki says it was first made in 98?

been usin' IMGburn since it was still called DVD Decryptor.

Ableton Live since 2006.

Well I could say something trivial like paint or whatever...but I'll keep it more interesting. I used Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash for quite a long time. But for a while...seeing as I don't have Windows anymore.

Winrar, since around 1998. I still have my original trial version from 10 years ago, it occasionally asks me to buy a license....just click the X and continue using lol

Cakewalk SONAR - been using it for music and sound production since 1999, when it was called 'Cakewalk Pro Audio'

Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator - been using them since 1994 (my dad got them for his Mac. He's a graphics designer, see)

I'd say MSN messenger.GazaAli

Winrar

These are both very good ones. They'd have to be near the top of my length-of-use list.

Winamp since 1995-6. Online radio, easy setup playlists, nice visual design.

Microsoft Word

I guess it would be something like Macromedia Flash from the mid-90s.cd_rom

Not counting stuff like Flash, Java...

I'd say.., Microsoft office.

Alcohol 52% to mount stuff in a virtual drive.

[QUOTE="xaos"] I guess vi is ok if you consider emacs too easy to use ^_^cd_rom

I can use Emacs easily, which is more than I can say for many editors. But I've used vi for so long that I am extremely proficient at it. I can do almost anything I need to do in a few keystrokes. Once you've reached that point, I don't think any editor is going to be as efficient, even Emacs.

Now, whether that's because it really streamlines the editing process or if it just creates an unnecessary dependency is debatable.

It very well could be the latter come to think of it, given that I buy vi plugins for just about any IDE or editing interface I am forced to use -- from Eclipse to Visual Studio to Microsoft Word and Outlook. If there's a vi plugin for it, I'm likely to buy it.

I'm going to go with WinZip or 7Zip. It's almost always the first thing I download on a reformat. :P
