>As late as 1993, the kids in some high schools around here, were, as part of the "knowing computers" curriculum, learning Cobol.

People still use Cobol though - as matter of fact there is more lines of Cobol in production than any other language - thus there is a market for it and I guess even today a Cobol programmer has a marketable skill. FrontPage though? That's ..ummm...a stupid thing to bother learning now (if it wasn't ever stupid to begin with - which is questionable).
