jesus christ, i dont think ive ever seen an article that beats around the bush for as long as this one does before finally getting to the point.<p>anyways, for those who don't have the patience, the title is misleading.
it's just some old software from the 90s. It's only ancient if you're one of those people who completely rewrites their entire code base from the ground up every two years because to pad out your resume with whatever bullshit new "framework" is in vogue. Contrary to popular belief you actually can just keep using the same software indefinitely, it doesn't degrade with age, and for the most part the hardware lasts pretty long too as long as you take care of it (with a few exceptions like optical drives and SSDs).
