My favorite quote was: "Terry Powers, head of Sapphire Technologies
recalled a recent conversation with a CIO of a Canadian financial
company who was worried his COBOL programmers would be retiring in
three to five years. The CIO wanted to find out where he could find
suitable replacements. "When I asked him what's stopping him from
upgrading to more current technology, his answer was: '$400
million'," said Powers.
