Message: [QUOTE="Alex Martelli, post: 1734820"] Absolutely. That's the same reason why the only writing implement they teach you to use in school is a chisel and a marble slab -- if they taught e.g. word processors it would be hard for employers to motivate you to use pen and paper. Yep. Managing to write even just "SPQR" with the marble and chisel without cracking the slab makes you proud (that Q is _so_ tricky!) -- with a word processor, or pen and paper, you'd get no kick from the accomplishment. And six hours of sandpapering and polishing that marble slab doesn't help either. Alex [/QUOTE]
