Scary but not entirely unexpected!

Why is it scary for a system to work for years and years? Would you prefer that it break?

Thinking about that I wonder if the VFP USAF logistics program is still running.

JFAST, and apparently so. I wonder if it is still mainly written in VFP. If so, would you find it scary?

The idea that just because something is older that there is something wrong with continuing to use it is one that I think needs to be stomped on.
