Don't snigger, the way things are going it looks like Visual Basic is
the future.

I don't know about the future BUT Lotus Notes is _NOW_!

Programmers are being flown across the country to perform
their tasks.  They are charging $1000/day.  A certified
Notes developer organization is said to have said
"Your company must pay $5000.00 as step 1, then you will
become a registered company and then we will begin
analysis".

Notes user level certification can occur after a
two week school.

Reminds me of Ada in the mid 80's.
