I ditched COBOL years ago but I have been begged to accept to do jobs in COBOL.
Think your COBOL skills are still worth $$$ if you care to use them.
If what you're looking for is having fun again, then I would look into one of the.NET languages or Mono for linux (C#).
A commercial software developer developing for MS Windows has already put their company into Microsoft's basket. How many companies are turning a profit on Windows development, compared to Linux development (note: development, not support)?
With java you have independence. You're not tied to Windows or Linux.
yeahh... only tied to Oracle... what a difference !!!
DumbFace, DirtyFace, UglyFace all illegal ??? ... common ..
Microsoft might be Evil but Oracle is the DEVIL
