COBOL!!!??? When I first went to work for the Smithsonian Institution Science Information Exchange (think, 'Think Tank") in March of 1973, COBOL was an endangered species according to them for rapid retrieval of clinical and experimental data.

What changed? I know nothing about computer programming but it seems to me that if COBOL is still in use it must have undergone a NASA upgrade or a "special offer" package from Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic to propel it into the myriad pathways of 21st Century webspeak! I'm impressed!!!
