We have enough Control-M batch jobs that we have a small team supporting them.

I qualify as an "old timer" and am still working albeit about as far away from my earliest software work as could be. I wouldn't use VI unless my life depended on it not because of any aversion to full screen editors. I'd rather use notepad. Now as to "old timers" and abandoned technology, even though I spent first 15-20 years of my career programming ASM on various machines writing everything from OSs to devices driver, to compilers, etc. do I use ASM today, or prefer it? I use the most efficient tool appropriate to the task at hand. As for teaching ASM, I do wonder where the ASM programmers will come from to write the inevitable code that cannot be written in C (or whatever high level language you choose). Somewhat amazing to me that a computer science major can graduate w/o understanding how a computer works, at least at the basic level of ASM. Black Hats cannot be the ONLY folks that understand ASM or we're all in a lot of trouble.
