Gee, I don't want to pose as an expert in the relative benefits of various

Hi,

Nobody has mentioned much about COBOL. Depending on what the OP wants to
learn, and his home system. He might be interested in GNU COBOL (formerly
OpenCOBOL) at http://www.opencobol.org . Or, perhaps even more so, zCOBOL,

I'm just reading about STK/Sun/Oracle tape drives. The latest T1D
drive has uncompressed capacity 8TB, but with Maximum Capacity Feaure
it's 8,5TB.
I can't imagine what the feature is, physically. And why it's not
always-enabled?
Any clue?
