What are the advantages and disadvantages of cobol?
What is so Good About COBOL? * COBOL is robust. There are thousands of third-party products which have been developed to aid the COBOL programmer in critical areas of testing, debugging, application analysis, production support, and code reuse.
* COBOL is capable of handling a wide range of processing volumes.
* COBOL is widely used. COBOL is the number two language for developing client-server applications. There are millions of COBOL programmers and analysts employed. Because of its advantages in the development of business applications, COBOL is still frequently used world-wide for business applications.COBOL applications are so feature-rich and are doing such an excellent job of performing mission-critical applications that the users don't really want to retire them.
* Well suited for business applications. COBOL programs are relatively easy to develop, use and maintain. COBOL is a high-level, English-like language which, when used correctly, can resemble a well-structured novel with appendices, cross-reference tables, chapters, footnotes and paragraphs. Accordingly, its greatest strength is the ease with which it adopts to almost all business-related applications.
* Self-documenting and easy to learn. Unlike other languages, COBOL is self-documenting, and even non-technical people have been known to learn COBOL within a few weeks and become productive without understanding the internal architecture of the operating environment. More importantly, when the original programmer leaves, a replacement will be able to carry on easily due to COBOL's readability.
* Easy to maintain. COBOL is very easy to maintain. Its English-like syntax and semantics allow maintenance to be done by someone other than the original programmer. Further, the source code can be referred to by users with no programming background.
* Cross-platform portability. COBOL is still the most portable language. COBOL users can transport their applications to many different hardware platforms without recompiling the source code. This important feature gives insurance against hardware obsolescence. The users' hardware investment retains its value. It is possible to upgrade to a new platform without changing a single line of code. For the developer who provides its systems on multiple platforms, this portability allows for maintenance of one set of source code. This significantly reduces maintenance costs.
* Universal training. For the last 35 years, COBOL has been taught in colleges, universities and trade schools worldwide. There are an estimated 3,000,000 COBOL programmers employed today.
* Scalable. COBOL is the most scalable language.
* There are "modern" COBOL compilers. There are COBOL compilers that provide all of the capabilities listed above under "What users want". One of them, from Acucorp, Inc., has successfully upgraded COBOL applications to open systems, client/server configurations simply by re-compiling the code.

How does a Indestructible Keyboard work?
One keyboard that is commonly called the Virtually Indestructible Keyboard (see link below) is made of silicon, so it is very flexible and waterproof. This means that it won't be destroyed by common means, such as spilling coffee into it or stepping on it. On the other hand, this keyboard is actually quite destructible, as something as simple as a kitchen knife could penetrate the silicon quite easily.
The most indestructible keyboards are made with steel or very hard plastic like an ABS polycarbonate. These are commonly also waterproof, but can withstand other types of damage, such as fire damage, sharp objects, even acid damage.
Why is the first letter on a keyboard q instead of a?
The QWERTY arrangement stems from very early typewriters in 1870, when they had the problem that the type bars would jam if you typed too quickly, so they shifted the letters around until they found an arrangement that minimized the problem.
This is obviously not much of a problem anymore, but so many millions of people know the QWERTY keyboard by heart that all attempts to standardize on something else have failed.
The Dvorak keyboard is consistently quicker to use, for instance, but the difference is only 10% or so, and a 10% speedup has not been enough to convince many to go through the trouble of learning a different keyboard.
See related link for more on QWERTY.
What is the advantages and disadvantages of virtual keyboard?

What kind of keyboard did Ray Manzarek use?
Hey,
Ray Manzarek used a lot of keyboards during his time with The Doors, his prime ones being the Vox Continental combo organ, the Gibson G101 [also reffered to as the Kalamazoo k101] and the Fender Rhodes Piano Bass for his left hand. He also used other organs such as a Farfisa for a couple of songs, a Hammond organ, and a Rhodes Piano for songs including Riders on the Storm.
Hope this helped!
If you keyboard is unable to pick up its signal, trying unplugging it off and replugging it.
Try using a vacuum cleaner on the lowest setting against your keyboard. You could also use a hair dryer to blow away the dust and debris with a room temperature setting on low speed. There are air cans made specifically for spraying into your keyboard (it's only air) to remove dust available at many office supply or electronics stores worldwide.
The keys do come off your laptop keyboard; however, you must be extremely careful popping the keys off as a laptop keyboard is more delicate than a regular keyboard and the parts are much smaller. Firmly, but gently, use a flat-head screwdriver or other such object to pry the key from the keyboard with balanced pressure from both sides of the key. You may need to pop off another key on the keyboard to see exactly how the piece that latches the key to the keyboard is placed if you forget when you are ready to replace it. Again, gently, but firmly, press the key back onto the keyboard once you are done cleaning underneath of it until it snaps back onto the keyboard. I would not recommend doing this for the entire keyboard unless you have plenty of time and patience on your hands.
