About 14 years ago I worked for a company that looked after the POS and pump controllers for a few gas companies. They were outdated even then. Many of them still ran on Win 95 or 98 and used coax cables with old BNC connectors to talk to the pump controller.

I’d hope they’re a bit more up to date now

Well the Gregorian calendar was introduced in 1582, so maybe these guys are running an even older version of Windows that predates this change.

Although the Julian calendar had leap days too so 🤷
