I actually took Basic and Pascal in school and figured I just wasn't the techie type. In my Basic class, the thrill of the semester was programming line segments to appear in succession across the screen. Wow. We also used real floppy disks -- the 5 1/2 inch kind. Another check I had was a few years ago when my daughter needed a 1950's costume. She wanted a poodle skirt, but without the poodle. Instead, she wanted "CDs" on the skirt. I was puzzled until I realized she didn't know the word for "record!" Yikes! Well, happy teaching. I think the f2f grad class will be awesome!
