I had the same experience. Ted Lasso was OK, but after that there was literally nothing else...

There's a COBOL shop in my small town that contracts for corporations and the government. I know several COBOL specialists in their 30s. It's actually an extremely lucrative field to get into these days, with good pay and job security.

Desktops.

Most of my machines have ended up being Thinkpads (T61, X220, T440p, et al.). I also have a XMG P406.

All machines run Arch Linux with a choice of Gnome, KDE, IceWM, OpenBox, Fluxbox. The machine is use daily also has Deepin, WindowMaker, Awesome, i3 and Blackbox.

My preferred text editor is Kate and browser is Firefox or Seamonkey.
