| From what I know of the ATC system it's closer to IBM System 360 then to Microsoft 365 |

| ▲ | femto 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | That explains the outage. We're just in one of the 5 days of the year they don't cover... I did a tour of Adelaide airport with Engineers Australia in the 1990s. We visited their obsolete IBM main frame, still running ATC in their computer room. They were tied to it by the certification of the software it was running. Just as you described. | |
