@Hultan70 Do you really believe a decade old software would be upgraded? Interesting
-
@devRat it might very well be, POS systems don't get replaced very often, but more importantly: you didn't mention it was that age.
-
@devRat You never said it was that old, you DID say that your cousin bought it "the other day", so I assumed it was a product that was being updated. :-)

@devRat they are. they are just now getting security patches from 2006.
The other day, one of my cousin purchased a POS software for his bakery. He wanted me to look at it. Being curious, I did and found out that software was a decade old using MS Access as DB. He wanted couple of changes in the system and I did those in few mins.
Once I was done, he kept starring me like he never believed I could do that.
Moral: Your relatives never consider you a good programmer :-/
