So after 26 years in the industry my choices are to learn a new

This kind of thing kind of baffles me ... as an information technology
professional, I consider it to be part and parcel of my job to learn new
technology, languages, operating systems, etc.

Yes, I'm a computer geek ... I *ENJOY* playing with hardware and
software in my spare time.  And, honestly, I seriously doubt I would
have nearly as much value to my current employer if I didn't play with
technology.

Of course, I also saw the writing on the wall ... non-homogeneous system
integration was, and is, the wave of the future ... and if don't at
least UNDERSTAND what the other systems are doing, you are going to be
at a serious disadvantage.
