[ale] Ga Tech changes emphasis of Computer Science

[roberth1954 at aim.com]

I agree with the below assessment. I only spent about 5 years as a 
programmer (software engineer, software developer, etc) way back in my 
late twenties-early thirties. (that's 5 out of 30 in the business) And, 
I really think it helps to be able to understand "how the machine 
thinks".

  Thanks for the pointer. As a Tech graduate, I'm not sure I like all 
that I
  hear. I won't say Tech "was great under the old plan", but this new 
one kind
  of worries me too. Fundamentally, I think you can be much more 
effective at
  *any* role in the computer business, if you can program. I'll have to 
do
 some more research....
