At least.
Does "legacy" and "out to pasture" or even "business critical" mean anything to you? My $DAY_JOB is care and feeding of old systems that nobody else wants to touch. I enjoy it and it pays the bills.
Oh dear. I'm glad you enjoy that sort of thing. I suppose if the expectations aren't high, then you can always exceed expectations. Do you happen to program in COBOL? ;-)

Well, as for expectations, the systems are only expected to do today what they were expected to do when they were installed.
Mostly it's an inventory / materials management application that was written for a platform that the vendor has migrated off of. Or the customers don't want to pay to migrate to the new platform. So we are being paid to continue running the old platform as it's doing exactly what it's designed to do.
I assume you meant it as a joke, but I have done just enough COBOL to complete Master the Mainframe training a few years ago. As a norm I don't do anything with COBOL. ;-)
