I don't remember the details, but I read a comment somewhere that a small business, like a repair shop, created a custom application and has been using it for years.
I tried to google but only found this from 2002.

the more I learn about it the more I want to set up a VM and find a copy so I can play around with it
There really isn't anything like it now. It's from a time when there were not a lot of applications out there any people had to DIY their own tools. Like a database for a repair shop. Now people have spreadsheets with tons of features or small niche apps. Then there are the big cloud apps like SaleForce and Quickbooks.
