I have a friend in NYC who makes a VERY nice living maintaining COBOL on mainframes. It's a niche market, so very few guys around who not only can read and write COBOL but also work on the mainframe.

I pretty much do what he does except with xbase (dbase, foxbase/pro and clipper) on PC's. There are millions of lines of code written in the 90's still happily running.

In fact, the only "tech" I see from the 90's that's pretty much dead and buried is Netware and Vines.

Damn shame too, cause I loved Netware. Ol'well. :)

We're both old farts, compared to most of you guys. He's 64 and I'm 55.
