Are any of the older Maple versions still useful? 

I'm sure they still have their usefulness on older systems that don't have much memory and can't handle the newer versions system requirements.   Besides that, and the renaming of some routines and packages would one ever have the need to go back to an older version?  Let's say for example I have Maple 12, 9.5 and 7 on my machine and I wanted to start a worksheet, would I ever have the need to start one on Maple 7? 

I realize there are a lot of worksheets out there made for earlier versions of Maple that may not work on the newer ones.  So rather than reworking the worksheets to work on a newer version I could just pull up an older Maple version to run it.  Other than that I can't really see a need to have to have access to an older version of Maple. 

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
