Unless, like me, you went to school when there was not yet such a
thing as "computer science" (and certainly no degrees in it) and the
brand spanking new IBM 029 card punch was a hot item. Some of us have
wired plug boards for punched-card tabulating machines and have never
written a line of C (I can spell it, though; does that count?).
Pseudo-code? I never heard of it when I was in school. Some of us who
are struggling to use procmail never got any instruction in unix-think,
either.
