Its interesting now people in various organizations are in a 4 star panic when the word Cobol comes up. Everyone is so into JAVA and the other object languages. The other interesting fact is how many kids (20-30 yr olds) want to learn Assembler or Cobol ...they go where the money is thats JAVAm C#, C++, etc. I dont fault them, just think its a sign of changes going on.

Hopefully you weren't aiming that at anyone from the US. Our government isn't exactly well know for reducing the amount of money it borrows.
