I saw this news today on an IT Portal - It momentarily caused me some confusion 
For 130 years, Akubra has been making iconic Australian fur felt hats. But up until the last 18 months, the company was stuck in the '80s, operating on a DOS-based system.
The DOS system was made up of three modules designed to mimic a manual paper system that the company was utilising prior to its introduction. This meant that documentation about how many hats were being produced and at what sizes were entered into a database, rather than being handwritten.
