I started with '77, but FORTRAN 90 is my mother duck, as 'twere.  You  
need to embrace the fear.  After you go numb, it doesn't hurt so much.  
 FORTRAN 2003 introduces OO features.  That is both bad and wrong,  
although not as wrong as OOCOBOL, which makes my mind break just to  
think about.

Oh that's interesting.  I like that approach.  I do know PL/SQL,  
although these days I mostly only write it under duress or the promise  
of alcohol.  I will take some more time to get to know Postgres.  I  
have some free time coming up in May/June, and I may well take that  
opportunity to get up close and personal with it.

I have various ideas and suggestions for things that I would like to  
see in LedgerSMB, but I'll read through the mailing list archives  
first, to see what has been discussed.  Only, not right now.  I notice  
that it is 3am, and my alarm is set for 8...

Cheers,
Richard
