Why do you miss it? Older versions are surely available for download somewhere if the new ones annoy you, and even the new ones can be custom installed to filter most unneeded things.
Windows Eudora (nothing I've found has the features from it that I really want).
All the rest are from the '70s:
UNIX and cygwin. Specific utilities I started using in 1978 include dd, du, dc, ed/ex (death before vi!), tar, ls and ps.
EMACS, of course ^_^.
Scheme.
A bit later, command line FTP and dbx, the first unix debugger with source line correspondence (mid-80s, and it was a godsend).
Stuff I've stopped using for whatever reason, although I might get back to it: nroff, Scribe and TeX (before LaTeX). ITS and it's COMSAT equivalent to sendmail. Multics. Lisp Machines. Chaosnet, with its named ports (not numeric). UUCP email. Lex and yacc ... as long as I can rope someone else into writing their inputs ^_^.
Adventure, first generation Zork and Peter's Langston's 3D porthole spacewar and empire. Xtrek, the maze games on the graphics machines attached to MIT-DM and the Alto version. Rogue, rogueamatic (sp?) and nethack. The Artic Fox Amiga game.
My dad still uses DOS Quicken. At heart it's the same as the current program, just without all the bells and whistles. Plus it was a very mature DOS program: think his is version 11.

[ 3.1 ms ] story [ 49.8 ms ] threadStacker was magic too.
Tapcis addon for Compuserve.
QBASIC that came with DOS. The built-in context-sensitive help is how I taught myself how to "program".
Also, Norton Commander and Norton Disk Doctor. In the bad old DOS days of no tab-complete and dodgy floppy disks, Peter Norton was a hero.
