    Lol, not to mention Cobalt and other horrors that are lurking in Legacy systems no one has looked at in 50 years.

    I’m thinking mainframe terminals, where the character has to be in the right place on the screen in order to store something in RAM.

    Even worse, how many systems are still using punch cards? How often do those cards need to be replaced?

      You mean Cobol? I’m literally working on migrating legacy cobol code to ODB for a banking client. I’m loving it (/s)

      Edit: nvm seems like cobalt is a running joke. Cool name for it too though.
