The nasty surprises are hiding in your own code--or perhaps that super
handy utility you found on the CBT tape 'sometime in the 80s or 90s and
today could hardly live without. Also hiding in that pesky little backwater
application that's been off support for 12 years but the clients just can't
find the time/money/motivation to convert over to something more modern.
You held your breath on 1/1/2000 and were relieved to find that these
charming relics survived splendidly.

Now run them on an LPAR that actually makes use central storage above the
bar. They may survive again. Or not.
