I have been back there a couple of times, but it's yet another learning
curve and I'm getting too long in the tooth - what few I have left. To
be honest now that we have found the systems STILL work fine using a
32bit version of W10 and more important still drive the display systems
and run announcements using the parallel port I don't think the last few
will ever change ;) Heck one still has FB1.5 on it! And we have enough
recycled kit to keep things alive for a long time yet.

I think if there is a request from my remaining client base it will be
for mobile apps but I've avoided that so far with the browser based
interfaces. Most of the sites only tolerate the client programs because
they can't provide an alternative, otherwise they insist on browser
based applications only for easy maintenance.
