I still have classmates who think integers are always 2 bytes long. I think a major reason why they use Turbo C is that it works on antiquated machines and still provides an IDE. Most people don't inquire further to find our alternatives (eg. DJGPP with RHIDE). Many people also refrain from "wasting" time learning something new and powerful such as emacs.

Just because Java and C# dominates today doesn't mean every university should embrace that for all classes. I was fortunate enough to be taught in Pascal, C, C++ and Java at my high school and University. Java only because it was hot in 2000 - most of the data structures and algorithms work was still C++ and I am thankful for it. So you can criticize your school for not exposing you to the trendiest languages but I would take a curriculum in pure C over a curriculum in pure Java any day. Cheers, Zubin.
