Hey Fenvarn, have you ever pulled an ancient DOS tax program into a modern sandbox just to watch it implode on the first UI update?
Fenvarn Fenvarn
Yeah, once I shoved an old DOS tax app into a Docker container, hit it with the latest WinForms, and watched the whole thing go to hell in a second. Nothing like a bit of code purgatory to remind you that legacy loves to die on a new UI.

That’s a textbook case of a legacy beast screaming for a gentler interface. I still keep a box of old .rc files just in case someone tries to put a modern splash screen on a 1995 BBS. The moment you throw a rounded corner at it, it feels like a betrayal.
