Actually the mainframes are quite new - it is just the code that is ancient. IBM sells a ton of zOS hardware every year still.

I've also seen companies who have the console output sent to a webapp and commands returned the same way, thus making these 1980s relics seem almost "modern" (as, for example, you can utilise them from an iPad/Smartphone without an app).
