Anybody still using 3.12?

Hi, Iolair

Most definitely. I still maintain 3 small 3.12 sites (under 10 users each). Of course it's like being the Maytag repairman (he died a couple years back and nobody notices - they just put his hat in the adverts now). I pinch myself occasionally to make sure I'm still present. Yet to come up with a relevancy test.

One site now has over 600 days without a reboot, and the last one was due to a prolonged power outage.

Nothing to cause traffic in this forum, tho.

Ohmigod, it looks like I am the last one left.

I have violated Oliver Goldsmith's fundamental law of computer system planning:

"Be not the first by whom the new is tried
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside"

I have that sinking feeling of falling off the trailing edge.

Funny thing is, my 3.12 server just keeps running, and running and running.................................

I've got a few clients still running 3.12 for critical business applications and they just can't seem to justify implementing a newer system. But point being the systems are over 10 years old and still chugging along just like new.

I have a couple of clients running 3.12 as well... Changed the hardware out a couple of years ago, increased storage and what not. Still chugs along.

One of my former contracts still uses a NW 3.12 fileserver that hasn't been re-booted in at least 4 years. It still runs on a Compaq 2500 (Pentium 200Mhz) w/256MB RAM and 4x4.3GB drives in a Raid5 array (serving approx 40 users (200 at one time))-- AMAZING
