Much of the IT infrastructure in my area is made up of older OS and hardwarde platforms. In many cases, support for those old dinosaurs pays more than support for newer infrastructure. I'd love to be able to put my DOS experience to use instead of having it sit there on my resume (yes, I put it there... you never know). AS/400 support with a few years of general LAN/WAN experience is worth $70k+ a year in a lot of places.
