Ah, you need to read what I wrote again.  I said that at the University
of Toronto people who studied computer science got computer science,
not programming, and it was a bad fit because they didn't want to study
computer science, they wanted to study programming.  You also need to
buy a good atlas an consult with it before asking me questions about
the difference between and education in the United States and in 
the United Kingdom, because Toronto is in Canada.
