Fun IT fact: The Canada Revenue Agency still uses an ancient mainframe/terminal setup to manage the tax system. CRA agents who think they're smart call the program used to access that a "DOS program" but it's actually a terminal emulator. A Windows 7 or 10 computer being used to emulate what's effectively a typewriter with a monitor attached from the 1970's or 1980's.
(None of them know why the program references F13 through F24 to refer to shift-F1 through shift-F12, not even the ones who think they're smart.)
Oh god, at what point do we reach 40k levels of "were not quite sure how it works anymore, only that it does and that we need to appease its machine spirit with burning incense and mono-script chanting?"
In government? I suppose someone on Heron Road still knows what they're doing but that just means they'll be the Adeptus Mechanicus.
(Me, I was just there to nanny one of their offices through the trauma of moving a few boxes. Man, if you ever thought working for the tax man was an option, talk to a lifer.)
