Looking for a previous version of that software? 2007-10-03 12:32:03 While most web sites provide downloads of current version
s, OldApps.com does somewhat different by providing older versions of useful programs.
Often newer versions are better yet complicated to use and we understand that it is hard to find old versions. Many software providers do not put older version of their software on their site therefore OldApps.com came online and started helping those who need old apps.
Personally, I use older browsers versions to download some files I’m interested in, as some swf, xml, etc. I can not download them using the current versions of the browsers because they execute those files instead of giving me the change to download them.
In other hand, many slow internet connection users want to get the smallest possible program to use. OldApps.com is taking care of those by including size of the files next to them in most cases.
