No kidding. A few summers back a friend and I hung out at a local AMA (we knew the director). They were doing (MS DOS) Turbo C++ and Turbo Pascal for second year BSCS, and we *helped teach* "advanced concepts" (which was basically file IO, inline assembly, the works). :) I was in second year high school. Although I enjoyed teaching, that really gave me a bad impression. <snip> > attitude is the most influential factor (imho).

I love it where I am. :) Interesting thought... I'm sure all of us heard of that ILOVEYOU thing a few years back. Now, I'm sure they don't explicitly *teach* worm-scripting at AMA. That just goes to show that if you're really into it, you'll find out how it works and work it out. It's a shame that such a good mind was directed towards MS VBasic scripting (and its evils) though. ^_^ (By the way, I hear the guy got some kind of IT scholarship overseas.
