Hi,

I enjoy this magazine and found this comment interesting.

<quote page="45" paragraph="3">
Four years ago, a Gartner report suggested that is was roughly twice
as cost-effective to hire a Java developer as it was to train a C++,
VB or Cobol programmer in Java. Java professionals cost 20 percent
more than *legacy* developers, but the cost of training existing staff
is even greater, varying from $23,000 (C++ developer) to $57,000
(Cobol developer) ...
</quote>

Paulo considers C++ *legacy*.
