I Miss Microsoft Encarta

22 here and I remember Encarta very fondly. I did not use it very often as back then paperback encyclopedias were still a "thing" and Wikipedia was pretty ok too; but I definitely reading about random physicists in Encarta. It was fun!

Huh, I'm almost 40, really didn't realise Encarta had still a thing for people who are now in their early 20's!

Well, we're talking about mid to late 2000s (~15 years ago). Remember that Encarta was supported until 2009. And I grew up in a developing country so everything was happening with a few years lag.

I'm 22 in the UK and remember Encarta fondly.
