Our Classic-based accounting system just had its 10th birthday in
February. It works well, so why replace it (and pay the upgrade fees)?
"Generally-accepted accounting principles" haven't changed all that much
in the last few hundred years, so there's no point in upgrading an
accounting system that's doing the job. (It helps that we bought a
top-notch package to begin with, though.)
Though there may be lots and lots of such computers, you'll probably have
a hard time finding them. Contented users tend not to make very much
noise :-).
