Tromino
FME used to:read spreadsheet of survey points, combine with Tromino imagery to produce multiple outputs e.g. Google Earth and 3D PDF
Google Earth
A network of semi-wireless sensors for studying the environmenthttps://youtu.be/awERzxFbeWo
Sensornet
FME used to:read near real-time XML from web, compare with existing Oracle records and write new data to Oracle

Replaced with FME 2016.1 Emailer transformer?
Email with FME desktop
Keep an old FME installationFME updates always deliver improvements
But sometimes transformers and writers behave differently e.g. Adobe 3D PDF now uses PRC rather than U3D encoding
Keep an old installation to compare
