Hi Steve,
I count your vote for programing.
SA-->Why is it that so many people fail to see the phenomenal benefits of
SA-->programming.  With such a simple set up, one can explore an intense
SA-->discipline of logic, orderly thinking, refined argument and creativity.
SA-->All this is done without the need for great expense in replaceable
SA-->supplies, cleanup or health hazard.  To waste time and thought thinking
SA-->that the only benefit to this would be to turn out programmers is to use
SA-->the age old logic studies in history only turn out historians, math can
SA-->only turn out mathemeticians, etc.
 Granted that there are substantial good things that may result from
 learning to program, and that exposure to programing ought to be part
 of everyone's education ( mind you I am one of those uneducated ones
 who's exposure is very very limited) At what level, and to what degree
 ought this exposure happen?
 Peace
 Bob
