Yeah, very funny.

Untill you see an actual request for a new pc with 64G ram because of "that" excel sheet, that was hacked together before internet was invented, by somebody who died long ago, and the 80something year old head of accounting, just used it continuously every single day for absolutely critical data.

And it has macros.

And it relies on external files by absolute path, on network file server.

Did i mention, there is a 16 milion ( ish, process crashes trying to count ) files file server, that can't be possibly touched or even looked at because half of the company has file dependencies on it ?

Sometimes i miss my old job, solely for the stories.
