Don't be disappointed, it means you did well.
While I believe most software should be re-envisioned every few years, sometimes you hit the mark.
I left a company, they sold the DOS product. The buyer QUADRUPLED the price, lost 15% of the customers because of increased maintenance, and changed NOTHING in the code for a few years. They
were printing money, eventually the demand died out, and it went away (along with DOS in general).
Think of the old VW Bug. Mexico brought it back to life. Easy to repair, simple parts. Why change it?
BTW, I have a FAX at home. And I just used it last week to obtain a permit (govt is always behind the times, LOL).

At least they are still selling it. One company I was working at, after three years of really hard work and overtime by a half-dozen people, creating an innovative product that linked C, COBOL, Assembly and SmallTalk was purchased by a larger company as an "agent of change".
We had paying customers. The company that bought us PAID THEM OFF TO STOP USING THE PRODUCT! A strong lesson in how much your work is really appreciated and just little overtime is really justified (outside of an explosion in space and dying astronauts, of course).

Another way of looking at it is that is a testament to the effort and skill of the software developers.

I've just had a shudder thinking about the recent movie they made about it.
I'd rather be phishing!

There were some good things about it.
Number 1. I've never seen it.
Number 2. Seen it, have not I.

This[^] is my favorite old series, also from 1965 I think.
I'm not so sure some modern remake would really work.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Yay! Happy Birthday. Parker doesn't look a day older, all the others look a lot younger in the reboot.

Crap! Has it really been that long? I haven't yet forgotten how incredibly bad that show was, but I was making progress until you brought it up. 
If you mention Space 1999, I'm going to have to get a passport, a plane ticket, and come over there to beat you to a pulp with whatever stick I find handy.
Will Rogers never met me.

My, didn't Space 1999 feature some cheesy storylines?
I await your visit.

Anagram of the panel,

That's correct, but Nagy answered it before you.  Duncan Edwards Jones wrote: CP code for an abusive term,
I actually used "abused by" as an anagram indicator.

If it's what I think it is - and I can't guarantee to be able to post it tomorrow, so I won't post it here but lambs do it as well - then it's a good one!

Lambs do it? Really? Do you think you might have got it a little confused with gamboling? Of course, if you have photographic proof of a young sheep card circle .....
