And no need to try to find replacements for perfectly working mission critical software that has been abandoned and will not run on current versions of Windows. I do not force my customer onto the latest just because it is the latest. There are conditions were they need to be able to operate on older systems. (I will work on any system. I occasionally still see DOS computers.) As far for security goes, M$'s security updates are typically very late to the show and very poorly done. A decent anti-virus fills i for you. And there are those instances were these older system are not even on the Internet. ESET still works wonderfully on Windows 7. > https://rakudo.org/downloads/star <https://rakudo.org/downloads/star> offers Star Bundles back to 2010.07 Which goes back to my question.

I do work on any computer or electronic system as long as it is moral, legal and ethical. I once fixed a commercial paper shredder. I have a guy that calls me every few years to work on his TV's (he kicks cables out with his vacuum cleaner).
