And the legacy systems are going to be around for quite awhile. -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 7:58 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L You THINK that you are kidding. I submit to you that in a few years there will be a great demand for Cobol programmers as the current old crop goes into retirement and all the newbe's are learning Java and perl. Start writing those books. They will be needed by the time that you finish them.
