A local company I know of still runs under dos with a custom accounting software, still running on a memorex telex 286 pc, with a whopping 10mb hard-drive connected to a parallel port dot matrix printer, green crt and a mouse that would make anybody with RSI cringe just by looking at it.
The same setup has been used since the first eighties.
Data entry is so quick you can barely see the forms before the secretary presses enter and stuff gets printed (the slowest process by a huge margin).
Would put to shame most software I've seen nowdays.
AFAIK the system only uses 6mb of the 10 available and includes all accounting history of the company.
