Last Friday I was told that there is a desperate shortage of IBM        
mainframe talent at most all skill levels and specialties. I have       
not done my homework, say on Monster.com or otherwise.                  
Suspect that, if true, it would be a hot topic here. So I scanned       
rather quickly through October and November archives. Any               
comment on  this rumor. I am 71 years old and the same                  
source cheered me a bit by noting that a local outfit had very          
recently hired an 81 year old COBOL programmer. No info on              
his experience nor more importantly his skill level. A Good friend,     
also 71, retired and then lost his entire retirement in failed business 
venture. Hope the rumor is true. Job security for those of us that      
still have them and maybe hope for him and some of the others           
less fortunate.
