Today it was announced that a foxpro application that I created in 1994 is being phased out. The kidney unit (who I still support a few hours per week) is moving to an Oracle-based database that is hosted over the internet. They were happy with the application, but they were required to move to the Oracle system because of a provinical mandate.

I actually feel sad. Does this sort of thing bother anyone else?

Absolutely. I recently found that an app I created for a survey project in '94 was never used because the entire project was discontinued. I got paid for it, etc., but I still felt very odd about it. I felt like breaking into the company, kidnapping the install diskettes, and rescuing the poor unused app.
