> it's hard for me to believe that someone over 30 uses linux personally, I'm 46. Began programming COBOL on MVS in 1985. When I write Perl today, it looks like COBOL. I installed Linux (Slack) for the first time in 1992 (after downloading about 22 diskettes.) I run FC1 at home and work. A hint to you youngens: COBOL will make a comeback. Just wait. Mark
