Ageism is rife but I did not discriminate on age (I am an older dev too). I was just pointing out that your age can be made very obvious depending on how you structure your resume. I would try to avoid doing those things so that the focus can rightly be on the breadth of your experience.
Independantly from the age question, I think that discarding 15 years old tools is completely misguided.
It shouldn't matter whether some tools is new or old, only whether it's good.
I know people making lots of money with emails.
That's right, a technology from 1960.
Beware of the cult of the new.

I think if you are still actively using the tools then it is fine to include. My comment was mainly around tools that you haven't used for 15 years.
