Even though I haven't written a line of Cobol in several years, I still consider myself an unrepentant Cobol programmer. And as such I still find myself taking umbrage at even a hint that the Y2k problem was a Cobol problem. As every Cobol programmer must realize, Y2k was never a "Cobol issue" but a system design issue that usually -- and coincidentally -- was implemented in Cobol. And could have been written in any other language.

(Don't even get me started about my feelings regarding the "demise" of Cobol . . . )
