Re: California's COBOL payroll system

[john gilmore]

My posting of Farber's comments on COBOL was of course a provocation, and he 
was certainly guilty of hyperbole:  I personally know a number of unretired 
COBOL programmers.
 
That conceded, Farber is not at idiot.  Carnegie-Mellon has procedures in place 
to ensure that no idiot becomes a full professor of computer science.  They are 
filtered out at lower ranks.John GilmoreAshland, MA 01721-1817USA
