Unfortunately, it is time for you to switch careers.
You can go take some Java classes and learn other new technologies.  But from what I have seen, that will be an exercise in futility.
As soon as a headhunter, or prospective employer, sees "Powerhouse" on your resume, they will tell you they have no openings for powerhouse programmers but will call you if they do.  Of course, you will never hear form them again.
All of your other experience, as far as these people are concerned, is of no value.  
If you want to work in the IT field in the U.S., you have to be either young enough to have all of your experience in newer technologies or live in India.
IT is one of those fields where knowledge and experience has become a handicap.

I too am a ex-PH pgmr in Portland, OR.  I too hope that Ron will join us for 
our thoughts if it will matter at this date.

I think Cognos attention sag 
is so sad 
and job hunting is a real drag.

This is no gag, 
but where will this hag 
find a job to bag?
