      I worked for a large chemical additives company in the late '90s and wrote an IE6 web application (using classic ASP and Visual Basic 5) that was a front end to the company’s near-useless COBOL mainframe app that contained all of their testing and production processes and dated to the 1970s. They’re still using my application today, which means they’re still using that fucking COBOL app and the mainframes as well.
