Similarly, my Dad ran his medical office on Win98 until he died (2011).

Of course, he had no support for OS or the medical office software other than himself (and me).

Had a supplier of inexpensive old machines/parts.

All cause he refused to pay the $5k required to upgrade the medical office software that ran on those machines. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

My dad's company still runs software from 2002 for recording sales and sending bills. Runs fine on Windows 10 surprisingly
