Old stuff I still knowOur Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

My father and I are both keen photographers.We have a running battle about my use of photoshop, however. He does not approve at all.
He happily accepts the irony of using certain filters, and manipulating the equipment in a certain way to get a particular effect, but what can take him a week to set up in terms of waiting for the right time etc I can do in minutes.
He hates that.
I, too, have my burden - a friend on Farcebook has an iPhone with the Hipstamatic app. It's bloody superb, and pisses me off no end. That effect would take me ages to get in tattychop. I don't approve at all.

It's only annoying becauseit makes your skill obsolete. Anything that does something you never could is cool, obviously.
At least on the music thing it's occasionally useful mid-gig if a part's gone missing...
