How old do you think the mainframes running Social Security are?

    Probably a mix of Z systems, that stuff goes back 20-odd years, and even then older code can still run on new Z systems which is something IBM brags about.
    Mainframes aren't old they're just niche technology, and that includes enterprise Java software.
