Re "enterprise hardware or software dating from 1982 or 1983" Didn't they buy a system from ITWO 6 months or so ago?

Its a tandem system. Its a mid-80s box. I think the hardware has been upgraded a few times but the software is the same stuff they were taking orders with from day one. its custom COBOL code. But dont take my word for it, ask the rep the next time you place an order. Michelle You are correct to be technically accurate I should have said "13 1/2 year old mainframe", or whatever age it is.
