Indeed. Some of my old skills should be staying in prehistoric times like 
programming in Clarion and Clipper. You've gotta move on, just what that 
article suggests. I had to drop them because of platform development.

Oh, one thing I think that author forgot was the evolving of viruses, Trojans, 
worms, etc.

I remember how easy it was to get rid of that bouncing ball virus, today you 
get that stealthy rootkit havoc wreaker which are sometimes impossible to get 
rid of...

You probably remember those bulliten boards on those home computers like 
Commodore 64 and such? Good days if you can say using those slow unreliable 
modems are 'good'. 

Natural Adabas was the rage some years ago in online jobhunting pages, now 
they're replaced by 1001 other skills in demand...

One of these times I will tell my grand-grand-children there was something like 
'Ancient Art of Computing.' (Sorry, Sun Tzu to misquote you...)
