If your organization is such a clusterfuck that you can't figure out how to open a PDF, then I'm going to consider that a bullet dodged.
Literally every single browser can open a PDF.
Is she admitting that their organization only uses discontinued, insecure Internet Explorer to use the internet? Is she also opening word files in Microsoft word 2005?
I recently found an ad requiring knowledge of win2000/XP
I met a company that still has a machine in their production line, that uses 5.25" floppy discs and an amber monochrome display. "Why?" I hear you ask. Because it still works, it isn't networked, and the floppies next to it are the only ones it'll ever interact with.
The biggest problem with these dinosaurs is when they stop working. Sourcing parts is getting more difficult.
Depending on the job itself, this actually makes sense for legacy support. My job requires "passable experience with Windows 98SE, XP, and 2000", but the network-facing computers are all 10 and 11.
Military and medical too.
It was for an electronics rework technician role, though. Outside of a wave/reflow oven's interface, (which should have its own GUI) it didn't really make sense.
