BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Almost p*ssed myself when I read that. I work with some
COBOL heads. They are the worst kind of dinosaur, too stubborn to know
they're dead and too belligerent to learn anything new.

Things like, "I can't really see anything different between COBOL and OO",
or the classic, "I can do that in COBOL" -- yes you probably can, but the
fact it takes a week to do, where it would take 2-3 hours in something
else....

and the fact that people still use Cobol
(something something Business Oriented Language) and nobody uses Fortran is
indicative of the fact that engineers are smarter than accountants (and
therefore
know when to move on)
