I agree on most aspects but also respectfully disagree on a couple. Keeping old apps isn't always a bad thing. Yes, the source should be preserved so the application can be ported forward as required, but from a business expense aspect, when an application is still doing what it needs to do, it is far more expensive to have to re-write it every OS iteration vs. getting 10,15,20? years out of the app then paying to upgrade it once and leap up 5 levels in technology. Rewrite when needed, and don't be afraid to, but it's a good thing if it's not needed very often. And yes, agreed, that tipping point has essentially hit for 16bit apps to avoid emulation. The pre-ASCII project sounds like a nightmare. On that one I would say the "needed" point was well passed!
