Random thought while I was walking home from the grocery store today -- I wonder what is the oldest app still running (and doing something useful)? I'm assuming it would be in the banking or insurance industries, but I'm curious. I have a friend who's still working on something written ~30 or so years ago in
PL/1, a language that pre-dates many developers in this field. (Oh, and despite the age of TCP and SMTP, I wouldn't count them -- they're protocols, not apps. I'm the one with the random question, I can make the rules.)
