OMG are you serious? It was only 2 months ago and the options were rexx, cobol, snobol, fortran and MIX? If it was 2 decades ago that'd make a little more sense, but it doesn't sound like they've got a lot of forward thinkers in their IT department. I realize things are different in the mainframe world, but I didn't realize it was still like this even today.
