AS/400, still running green screen. Probably based on RPG and not COBOL. Almost as old, but still performs well.


Yup, lots of major retail POS systems are running on AS/400 and successor systems, because they are reliable AF and IBM goes to a lot of trouble to ensure that code base keeps working forever.
