Anyone else here have to endure IBM AS/400 at their workplace?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 11 points 8 months ago

It's the backbone of the entire company I work at. And I work at one of the largest companies in its field. If it went down for an extended period of time the company would grind to a halt. I guess it's called "IBM i" now but everyone calls it AS/400

Not anymore, but I have worked at places that use them for inventory. Good ol green terminals.
