That was what I was thinking of. Guess that's quite a different deal to regular rail.
On another note, I have seen Windows 95/98 startup screens covering huge billboard-type displays on shopping plazas in modern metropolises in Asia in the last decade. I'm guessing old OS usage is more widespread than most people think.

Also remember reading something about when Adobe EOLd Flash, that caused problems for a lot of infrastructure, back in the day.

Yowzers! We used to have one of those theme parks with crazy roller-coaster rides near by my home. Kind of reminded me of that.
