I don't know if you've ever worked with an AS/400 (I did in some college classes back in 98 - 00 with COBOL and RPG) it's very powerful and in use by a LOT of government/industrial companies -- as the article states. The Series i replaces the AS/400 (side-note:Zend has offered Series i downloads for a while now, at least for its IDE) and at the risk of sounding like a little fanboy... this is fantastic news for PHP and PHP programmers over all.
People with COBOL/RPG and PHP experience will be able to pull in a *nice*paycheck converting programs or building web-based front-ends to interface with those programs. better start exercising program logic muscles again...
