A good example of things never dying would be a cute little peice of software called 3D Movie Maker. 3DMM was a cheap little semi-educational program made by Microsoft that let you direct crude 3D Movies using static backgrounds and stupid looking 3D Models. It was fun to play with, and I still have it on my hard drive to mess around with on occasion. Surely its a dead peice of software, a relic of the past never to be seen again?
Wrong. 3dmm.com is a community of people still playing with this thing, and some of the stuff they have done with it is incredible. This is almost 8 years after the damn thing got released.
