They are really pushing games programming here. They've even started a
course in the high school's here. The part that bugs me is that it's called
Information Technology around here. I keep trying to coin a new term
(Entertainment Technology) but it hasn't taken hold. I guess that's the "old
school" in me that see's Information Technology in a more traditional sense.

You should see the looks I get when I say that I'm fluent in fortran, ada,
and pascal, so I guess you're right about that!
