   @tuxcrafting @cantinto I know a place still running an HP-3000 mainframe with MPE, the system was EOL'd in 2010 but HP sold the source code to a support company and now this place is paying the support company to patch MPE to handle dates past 2027.

     @cantinto @tuxcrafting the question is, will they fix it for the 2038 limit at the same time, or just kick the can down the road for another ten years. I have predictions.
