Well, I'm gonna disagree with you there, by analogy. :) Almost all of my (adult) friends have no problem reading and following a good sci-fi or fantasy novel. Very few of them could *write* such a novel in any way that would have my interest. Similarly, sure, we can teach almost anyone to read a computer program. But the skill to *write* a computer program is not necessarily trainable to everyone. It requires some innate sense of abstract reasoning and problem solving that is definitely available only to a small portion of the adult population in my experience. Maybe some of you live sheltered lives, hanging out only with nerds. You gotta get out more often. :) Think of how many VCRs are out there that are *flashing 12:00*. Doh! -- Randal L.
