Sounded interesting and seemed the money was pretty good. I’d just worry about losing years lost on a for sure obsolete platform. What would you tell your next employer what you had been doing?
What's wrong with stating "I did it for the money" or "I did it out of curiosity", or even both? Learning something (even obsolete) is not "lost" time. There's always experience to gain.

Oh my gosh!  I'd love to get paid to learn something off the wall!  Like, say, Python!

<heh!>  <ducking and running>

And now that I think of it, large chunks of my career over the years have been spent on obsolete technologies.  They just weren't obsolete at the time.  OS/2 and EGL come immediately to mind.

Thanks, IBM.
