A journalist is looking for stories of old programming languages. I know some of you have some Fortran and Cobol and other gems buried deep in some of your models and data systems. If you’d like to respond the contact info is below.

I'm a freelance science journalist and I'm researching an article for New Scientist magazine about the forgotten programming languages that still underpin a lot of today?s computing infrastructure. [?] Would be great to get your thoughts on the scale of this
 phenomenon and what the implications are.<br class="">
<br class="">
Any help would be much appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you.<br class="">
