Ron,
Chill... please. Obviously COBOL code is still around, or there wouldn't
have been such a demand for COBOL programmers to deal with Y2K.
But it's an OLD programming language, been around a long time. As you
pointed out. And that's the timeframe I coded in it as well.
Joe's comment referred to the length of time I'd been in IT. My response was
to that.
It's the weekend, relax.
