Not sure how you took away that I was criticizing BASIC09 or any other 
language from that statement?!?

I was referring to the COBOL programmers that retired off the back of 
the Y2K problem, implying that the situation would be the same in 2400 
(ignoring the fact that it has been pointed out that it isn't actually a 
leap year) for BASIC09 programmers.

Anyway, if one has to explain one's jokes then I guess they've fallen 
flat. :( I tried...
