    Imagine both the annoyance and job security having to manage MS-DOS and 3.1 systems for a railroad would entail.

      I would love it so much. I’d feel right at home. I miss sitting in my room and learning everything I could about DOS. That was the best time I ever had with computers.

      I once built, setup, and maintained about 20 computers for a Christian school for free just because I loved doing it so much.

      I wish I still had that enthusiasm for tech.

      Frankly that’s nothing. In the worst case a train won’t start, which for DB really isn’t something unusual. It’s far more disturbing how the whole global financial market sometimes rely on code that’s still written in COBOL.
