I was but a teen age boy in 1992. I built a file maker database, for a school system. They have tried to retire it twice. Both projects failed miserably. For the last 10 years it has been maintained by the same office admin. She still calls me every now and again to ask questions.

When I left my former employer in 2014, they were still attempting to get their invoices off a FileMaker database and into Quicken or something of the sort. That particular database was in service when I started 10 years prior, running in FileMaker 3 on a Mac clone. It's been upgraded over the years, and was running in a Windows VM when I left - but it's likely still there.
