My company recently acquired another and picked up some interesting legacy infrastructure: on-premises mainframes running COBOL. What I found particularly funny is that this system has deprecated but still in-use legacy components of its own, like a telnet server, and that this legacy component also has legacy components that may or may not still be in use (character mappings for specific teletypes that different remote clients used).
I guess that at some point, everything any of us do will become someone else’s headache.


Once again, they’re inflating their numbers by extrapolating the street price for a single use against what’s clearly a distributor quantity. They’re probably also adding the weight of the pallets into the net total.
