Of course, real "stuff" is much better than pissing around in Minecraft. But hey if you can get a kid to find interest in programming via Minecraft of all things, I say that's still a success. And if you want to complain about something; complain about the fact that the way the Ontario high school's teach programming is ass backwards. Instead of learning actually luseful things about programming, it's "Focus on making pretty forms with Visual Studio". I say that's much worse than turning the same kid loose with ComputerCraft and watching them make something that actually "does something". Cheers, Christian -- Christian M.
