    Why not? if it works for him. I know people who who are still driving their 1950's Ford truck. And they're happy with it. It works for them. Kinda crazy notion, huh? Yeah, yeah, I know.

      COBOL is still active and popular because it supports decimal arithmetic natively (ie. without having to write classes or depend on libraries). Most commercial activities are plain old "read input, massage numbers, spit out result" instead of making lists or calculating a scientific result (which is more interesting to OOP and recent paradigms). Just about every day a new language is invented by somebody, but none of them address decimal arithmetic... which is why COBOL will live on for a long time. The only languages that I know of that currently support decimal arithmetic are assembler (pick your machine), PL/1 and COBOL. I think COBOL wins this one...

                      Last someone asked me to that (though it was to be backward compatible to Win98) I pointed out that anyone too cheap too upgrade from 98 would be too cheap to buy our upgrade. I was right.

                                          Was reformatting my laptop the other day, looking at the discs I had I smiled and was even tempted when I picked up a version of Windows 98..
