I figured I should mention this. I will be speaking at the Twin Cities Code Camp this fall. My talk is going to be on the PICK/Multivalue systems that are still in use today. It is one of those legacy systems like COBOL that isn't going to fade away anytime soon. IBM actually has taken the lead with it in recent years but modernizing the U2 products (Universe and Unidata).

For the people that don't know Code Camp is a day of talks on whatever speakers want to talk about. It's free and a rather fun time. In the past there have been talks ranging from starting out in ruby, writing custom modules for IIS 7 to hacking a hardware platform to tell you the whether. It is run by Magenic and hosted at New Horizons in Edina (I heard that the next spring one may be moving elsewhere).
