I donât. No. This isnât real. Heâs lying, surely heâs lying. Itâs just a person on the internet making a joke right?
Iâd believe itâs real. In 2016 I was at a company trying to migrate off an old IBM mainframe and green screens.

Some companies and IT departments are very reluctant to change, regardless of how much time and money it save.
The kind of place where âbackupsâ means playing Russian Roulette with one set of old ass tapes, if youâre lucky.
