Another Dead Technology
Today I was able to add another entry onto my wall of dead tech.
Today I replaced the last printer still using a Centronics cable. Goodbye old friend. I send you off to retirement with a perfect operational record.

Geebus Grandpa, I haven't seen one of those in a decade at least.

I have a laser printer that can use those cables. It's at least 12 years old because it was here when I got here and I've been here over 11 years. Our voicemail/phone system is a minimum of 13 years old. And the copier is on it's last leg, but it's about that old as well. We run em till they die here.

I kid you not: one of our clients (well, our client's client), who needed to send us a data file of their patient addresses could only supply me an ASCII file because, they are still using (brace yourself): DOS.
The girl I talked to on the phone was actually embarrassed to tell me.

Another noteworthy addition to the wall of Dead Technology.
 I said goodby to the last of the XP PC's this week. Now they only live in my memory, and as virtual PC's inside a couple of my Windows 7 systems just for fun.
