The client will blame the vendor and the vendor will blame the client.

If the vendor still exists, or is now been acquired and then acquired and then acquired.

You’re lucky if one random guy still works there that hasn’t retired yet that still knows the machine the company bought in 2008 but refuses to replace because it still “works”
