I remember in the fall of 1975 taking a PL/I class at "THE" Ohio State 
University - the instructor was confident that by 1980 - COBOL and Fortran 
would not exist outside of museums ...PL/I was THAT good ...

(and he MIGHT have been right - had there not been such an overwhelming legacy 
of code in both languages bu 1975 - which cost to convert overwhelmed whatever 
savings the ease and efficiency of PL/I provided ...)
