Cobol? I know how to program in cobol, but I know of no reason to do so in this day and age. Had a course in cobol in 1983 or 84 at uni, that was the last year they gave that course because cobol was considered obsolete (it was mandatory, had no choice, am scarred for life).

I know a half-dozen guys that were "scarred" by Cobol to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the late 90's because they met two very strict criteria:

1. they knew that "Cobol" was a programming language;
2. they didn't sleep much.
