Image: The COBOL ON COGS site has some nice attention to period detail, including simulated 3270 terminal phosphor burn-in and a Y2K in-joke for those who’ve been around a while.

You’ve heard of Ruby on Rails, but what about all those COBOL developers? Well, we can goto COBOL ON COGS and reminisce. Pay attention as the screens change to bring back fond memories of the massive, built like a battleship, IBM 3270 green-screen terminals. A very nice touch!
