Nathan,

I've been in the biz since 1972 and at that time all the trade rags called for
the death of COBOL.  Like they were accurate!  (IMHO, if you want a desk top to
mainframe, portable, language, write ANSI COBOL)

They also called the death of RPG.  The same people that shouted "ice age" ten
years ago are now shouting "global warming". These same people claimed that ADA
was the path to tomorrow.

To thine own self be true, therefore you can do no man no wrong. (or something
like that)
