	not sure if this is a joke or not (sorry, text is in german), but they look for a win 3.11 sysadmin. I read in the news that there are still a lot of systems working on DOS and Win9x. As soon as they have no internet connection this is no problem. Even a train system in San Francisco still runs with it. https://www.gulp.de/gulp2/g/projekte/agentur/C00929028

	https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibas It was sibas, Siemens Bahn Systems, they report in german wiki, that there are more than 7.000 railways supported. And it is like always if you have machines that run 50 years and more, e.g. aeroplanes, trains etc.: Replacing the software including the computer and the OS is almost impossible. So its cheaper to replace the people that retire.
