No kidding. Most of these kids are a bunch of scary deadheads who wouldn't  
know the difference between an inter-block gap and a write ring.......
 
Ask anyone of them if they know what a punch card is....
 
 
My real big problem with pc technology is that it is way too much 4G/L  ....
 
For years I have said that 4g/l's produce lame brained programmers who  don't 
have to think too much about what they do to produce a result, just let  the 
computer figure it out for you...

<< It's worth noting that another issue with PC languages is the  age
difference of the developers.  I'm currently enrolled in VB.NET, and  the
truth is, I have a daughter that's 10 years older than many of  my
classmates.  

I'm not saying the age gap is bad, but it does  present some issues - not
the least of which is trying to act interested  while the classmate at
the desk next to you is explaining the latest  cheat-code they found on
the internet for their PS2 game.

My true  concern on the age gap is directed towards the employers...do
they think the  age gap is/will a problem?
