David -

No, that kid can get a _real_ job as a programmer for a dot.com, and
doesn't have to work the same hours for beans as a civil servant
scientist. Since programmers are now worth more to society than
scientists (as measured purely by salaries), it's clearly a waste of a
high-demand resource to have real programmers write code for scientific
research. ;-)

And I'm very serious about the point above. I may be stuck knowing a
bunch of old farts (not, actually), but maybe one person in twenty here
actually uses the object capabilities when given a choice.

Best,

Joe
