   There are a lot of people out of work right now, some might be willing to   
   donate their time, who knows.  Perhaps helping out will lead to $$ later.. I   
   can't know of course.

   I remember reading that as well, but I also know from one of my uncles that a   
   larger number of them ran COBOL.. at least that was "then".. I don't know   
   about now.   
      
   Take care,
