 Agreed, however, writing a business application in Logo, just because
 that's what the team knows, is going to cost a lot more than hiring or
 training a C++ team to develop the application.  A COBOL team would be
 better off learning C++ to write a warfare simulation than they would
 be to write the simulation in COBOL.
 I guess it really depends on what languages are being compared.  For
 example, it would be difficult to justify leaving Object Pascal/Delphi
 for C++ since both pretty much do the same thing.
