- referring to your article about object-oriented COBOL. I think it's a natural,
- too. If somebody can do it right and make it useable, they're going to make
- a lot of money. I'm no expert on object-oriented anything, but I've learned
- enough about it to see the potential for developing secure systems. These
- days in the mainframe world, security is at the top of a lot of people's
- list.

- There will be a problem with some people getting used to the new environment.
- I would say that most of the mainframe people I've met in my career really
- aren't interested in learning anything new and would rather continue
- quite happily with their old Model T Fords.
