We are still using 3.0 after a detour
We got sick and tired of MS Windows this and MS Windows that, even on brand new name brand hardware.
We are a real business that likes to make money and spend it on things that we think add value. Accounting is accounting since 1400 AD whatever and we got fed up as we were forced though a series of migratons from 3.0 to almost the present.
When we hit a rough patch in the last recession, we fired high falutin accountants and windows integrators and went out to eabay of all places and sourced missing 3.0 modules, tracked down data SBT dictionary book on AMazon and found rest of documentation at liquidation firm in Texas.
We scrapped out new versions of SBT and..............went back to real 100% MS DOS source coded 3.0 version, that we modified the souce code for our needs.
Net effect is that because we are running SBT 3.0 with y2k Fox on a MS-DOS Lan based network that piggy backs on the same ethernet as the rest of the firm (such software exists in industrial sector) we made money.
We turned a net capital a 50 K into 2.9 million because we we no longer getting distracted with repeated windows failures.
Also, we shucked staff that wanted to surf the web all day because when you are at your accouting desk, all you can do on your dos machine is your accounting applcation, SBT 3.0 and we are prowd of it.

There are always people who like to be behind the times until their competitors leave them in the dust.
