I work for a small engineering company. This company has been using antiquated technology for some time.
My job, in part, is to modernize everything. Moving these guys to new technologies is kind of like watching snails cross a sidewalk.
The old system (still in use) runs on a 6502 microprocessor, the same one that made the Apple II and Commodore 64 work.
Choosing new technologies is also a challenge, I have to find solutions that they will be comfortable with. No one in the company except me has a clue about Linux. So I rejected embedded linux on a Spartan FPGA embedded processor early on even though it was a perfect fit. They all have Windows PCs on their desks the natural choice was embedded XP running on a small via powered motherboard.
