can you watch out with the sweeping generalizations?
When I studied, we had a class where we literally wrote our programs in FORTRAN/C, on punch-cards, and submitted them to one of several mainframes that my university maintained. (this was 2-3 years ago).
I get that there's discrimination, but it seems like it goes both ways.
