There is no valid reason as to why someone needs to hang on to an old version.
I have a VERY dear friend who used a 16-bit version of mIRC until relatively recently. She didn't have the means at the time to purchase an upgraded computer that would run Windows95 and was stuck using what she had: Windows 3.1 on a 486. Not everyone has the means to upgrade and must make do with what they have. Please don't make such broad, unilateral statements when making your valid points. I quite agree with the sentiment, but the way it was stated, "no valid," is clearly too broad.
(By the way: my friend is now an uber-geekette-in-training and knows more about some areas of computing/mIRC than I do!!)
