Egypt, Venice and legacy applications
Posted by Felix Enescu on December 5th, 2006
Did you ever wonder what Egypt, Venice and legacy application have in common?
Egypt is a “legacy” country. It lives only through history. People are interested in Egypt only for the pyramids and temples. There is no modern Egypt. It is like old applications keep alive only for historical reporting purposes.
Venice is a “legacy” city. Most of the people came here for the history: San Marco Square, Grand Canal, and “Ponte di Rialto”. One can also see “Teatro la Fenice” or the biennale. There is still life in Venice, the art is still flowing and the old city is still a major art and culture center. Venice is an old application with current usage
Next time when you read your application list, think of sand and desert. Do you really want to spend money on that application? While Egypt monuments have a significance for the world history, your application does not.
Prune your applications; increase the support fees in your chargeback system; do whatever it takes to eliminate “ancient history” from your date center.

How right you are
Virtually the only city untroubled by 19th to 21st century architecture and stuff such as cars, but full of art and history. That’s why people come here.
