Ronchese,

I have seen the statements of your Boss much more, however than it was not
Java but Cobol.

And they where right, Cobol is still used and as far as I know especially in
those environments where the other posters are pointing on. (And than even
much more than Java).

I hope I make my thoughts clear with this?
