The oldest computer still in use has to be a

branches only upgrade after every user who knows how to run the system
is dead/retired. Probably some computer setup for the social security
database, or liscense plate server or other mundane task.
Besides im shure there are tons of Sinclair's running chemical plant
controllers in the Ukraine somewhere that are at least older then the
C64.
What about the computer sent out in the Voyager spacecraft in the 70's?
Or is this just personal computers?
IBM East Fishkill still very much has Series/1's in full operation. I
think there's also an S/360/30 doing something.
