Slightly OT, but I was in Rome a few weekends ago (to watch England vs
Italy Rugby match) and we tried to get train tickets from the airport to
the City ... The automatic machine we were using froze and then gave us
the Blue Screen of Death .... It then rebooted itself and up came OS2 Warp
V3 ( ... I think it was V3 ... ( a few sherberts had been consumed on the
plane !! .. :-) ) ...
I see nothing wrong in that. The device you described was probably
produced many moons ago. It's not new, but it's still working. No need
to replace the device, no need to upgrade it. Last but not least: the
license for OS/2 is OTC type - already paid, no monthly bills.
I guess that new devices do not run OS/2 any longer.
BTW: Sometimes the obsolete version of software or age of hardware is
not an issue, but the system can be still ridiculous.
Example: z9BC running 30+ years old application under z/OS. Funny? Not
yet. However the application is really simple and has no strong
requirements for RAS. Other companies using the same application moved
to single PC (yes!) or small LAN painlessly. Many years ago.
What is ridiculous? To pay for the mainframe and z/OS while regular PC
would be sufficient.
