It's still used for an old county treasurer application.

My first Fortran programming job was for geophysics applications on petroleum exploration packages: 1MB memory on a VAX 780 or .5 MB memory on a VAX 750, with an attached MAP array processor for number crunching. DoD also used VAXes. Both of those are much more fun than accounting.
