In 1978 I bought a z80 based Tandy TRS-80 Microcomputer. As a result
two of my children are in IT. If they wanted games, which they did,
they had to write them themselves or type in listings and debug them
and in the process learn the computing languages involved. I don't
think they teach that way.

See http://barrysoftware.com and http://objects.com.au which show the results.
