    In addition to skills in wrangling Windows for Workgroups on the 30-year-old operating system, the recruiter would look upon a candidate more fondly for possessing MS-DOS experience.

    640K ought to be enough to run everyone's trains

      If it works, don't rewrite it to Linux.

      Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

        Well, in Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade & Industry allowed recently (Sep. 2022) that reports by citizens will not have to be prepared on floppy disk or CD-ROM. They haven't got around to actually modifying the regulations quite yet, though... [Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry finally stops using floppy disks - Japan Today](https://japantoday.com/category/national/japanese-government’s-ministry-of-economy-trade-and-industry-finally-stops-using-floppy-disks)

          Going to check application requirements. There aren't many 35 years old with significant experience in MS-DOS and Windows 3.11 out there.

            I'm a 59-year-old who still has his MS-DOS and Windows Programmer's Reference Manuals, and still has his 16-bit compilers. Do you think they'd allow me to work from home in Israel? :)

              Article implies this is a mission critical system. It's not. It's the system that displays train schedules to the public.
