From 1994-2001 I worked (in a small team) on a C++/Paradox school administration system; it's still in use today in hundreds of public schools in South Australia. I think they've tried to replace it via tender at least once, but haven't found an affordable / suitable replacement.
It was quite amusing to get invoices from my daughter's (born in 1996) school produced by this program on a format I had laid out.
There's still, AFAIK, an easter egg that displays the name of the people that worked on it back in the day, one just needs to open the right form and double-click in the right place.....
- passivepinetree 10y agoI'd be curious to know how many of these programs/scripts/etc. have easter eggs hidden in them. It seems like you're the only one to mention it so far.

- passivepinetree 10y agoHoly smokes I had no idea those existed. That's way cool; thanks for the heads up.
