I used to look after airlines and the old okidata, I think prior to the 393. I was most amused when I went in the chemist to see them printing on the same machines, some 25 or more years later

     I like seeing stable systems in operation.


That makes me think of this water billing software I did for a company about 8 years ago. I built it so solid that they stopped any annual service/maintenance contract after the first year because they could see it works great and they didn't see any benefit to paying that annual fee. Although I miss the chance at the extra income, I'm proud that it's rock solid...and still working great AND going to continue to work great for years to come. It's a VFP9 app (or was it VFP8 back then?) with a MySQL backend.

Heck, even the VFP9 app that was initially built in 2003 for my first MBSS client is still running rock solid today. That's using a VFP database (DBC).
