Because they're older?
- bigiain 9y agoI've was integrating with an application recently where some of the header file copyright dates are in the '80. Sometimes there are _very_ old but business critical systems that everybody knows need replacing, but which "just work" and for which the risk and/or opportunity cost of replacing the old system is so high it's not been done. (This application has had three failed rewrite/replace projects over the last 10 years. They're now onto their fourth one, and they're running 32 months over deadline on a "2 year" project timeline...)
