Don't be offended if I stay a safe distance away.

To get off this list,
I don't think anyone said COBOL was the best, but there are so many
systems out there still using it. Yes, the impression is that PCs rule
the world, yet many business people know that for all the thousands of
PCs out there there are hundreds of AS/400s and mainframes driving large
scale
The biggest thing holding back Linux in the enterprise when it comes
to replacing big iron is that it's biggest proponent also sells the
AS/400s that cost $50,000 and are worth $5,000 once you open the crate
(I'm not exagerating much on this, our accountants hate the
depreciation on our AS/400).
