You waited until XP was released to upgrade?
Talk about a die hard...
On one project I worked on during most of the 90s, I used to keep one PC with Win95 installed and a copy of the earlier version of MS Office. A surprisingly significant percentage of the staff I assisted were prone to forgetting the passwords on their secured Office documents; if you open a password protected Office document in an early version of Office, the password is stripped off and the document is accessible. Of course, you lose any formatting and features not supported by earlier version, but at least you still had the text and most of the basic formatting. Keeping a PC with Win 95 and early Office was something I continued for a very long time...
