Re: COBOL or suicide?
I agree totally on that one Gtilles, that every programmer should at learst look at it.
I started with basic 1.0 wich predates all DOS programming ( if you partially exclude JAVA for Atari, but not really DoS), then moved onto COBOL and I never looked back
(still got the manuals and reference guides in my library I think...)
Personally, I rekon programmers get too comfortable with all the IDE's, toolkits and other helpful stuff, and this is why I agree with you.
It is because of tall this 'helpfull' stuff that programmers have forgotten the art of classic debugging, and proper design coding which is why all trainees that wwalk throgh my office door, get to use notepad for all design work.
Godd job on the addresss report though, pity about the language throgh!!!

A few things that make a good Developer a Great One.
 Methodical and a thorough approach to research and design inevitably leads to success.
Forward thinking is the key to Flow of control.
Never test in the design environment, always test in real time, you get the REAL results.
CBSE & OOSE are the same animal, they just require different techniques, and thinking.
SEO is a globe of objectives, SE rankings is an end to a means for these objectives, not part of them.
The key to good design is explicit attention to both detail and response.
Think Freely out of the "Box" you're in..... You will soar to better heights.
