I think you're just recalling the few software products that were actually good. There was plenty of crap software that would crash and lose your work in the old days.

I always found it funny how Word on Window 3.1/95 would have a day dream moment and just completely lock up, usually when you were about to save the document

I still save stuff every few minutes out of habits formed in the 90s.

Old DOS stuff could either be a total nightmare or some of the most brilliant code you had ever seen. Thats just the way having no giard rails goes.

Remember when OS uptime was super duper important? Now it's a given that you can basically never restart your computer and be fine.
