In the balance, I'd lean towards COBOL over VB6 just for the novelty value.

And you're also moving away from VB6, just not as far as you'd want to.

Not to mention the increased efficiency!

You know you could do that in one line of Lisp...

Too funny!
You must really want that sleeve?
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Well, I do like a challenge (and I know the way to Griff's heart)!

But you see young lady, you can't [REDACTED] chocolate!

You forgot to put NSFW in the subject line.

Aaaaah my eyes
No kidding, we had COBOL in uni. Two years in a row and two years in a row I woke up screaming of the nightmares I had the night before the exam. (true story actually )
So griff, for all my suffering, I still deserve the laptop sleeve no ?

Now that was a real hit - I didn't saw COBOL for over 15 years...You made my day (or what left of it)!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

My eyes are burning... haven't had to look at COBOL since college...

I don't understand this. I think that makes me young and lucky.

Brilliant!
I haven't done/seen COBOL since 1975! It took 200 Hollerith cards to do a 'Hello World' program, and my version generated 152 errors while compiling. The computer center expert that 'owned' the sacred COBOL manual could not identify one thing wrong with my code. That was my first and last attempt to use it, and I've never missed it.

For five years I was a fully paid up COBOL CODE MONKEY, it took me ages to stop using capitals.

Oh, you poor man! That explains so much about the way you turned out...
