I have worked in the computer field for over forty years, and, like you, am still amazed to find how intransigent many in this field are. You'd think that a cutting-edge field would attract people open to change, but such is not the case. Only three years ago I had a project lead angry at me for daring to use lower case in my COBOL code! There is a name for such people in English - Luddites: <http://carbon.cudenver.edu/~mryder/itc_data/luddite.html> Thanks for raising this issue. After forty years I still don't know how to deal with it. Life. Love. Peace.
