Back in the ’80s, when I was a high school student at De La Salle College “Oaklands”,
I got a great computer science education thanks to my teachers Messrs.
Clarkson and Etele, who taught Waterloo Structured Basic, Pascal, and
6502 Assembler on a well equipped lab of Commodore PETs, Apple ][s and ICONs.
(Yes, they taught evolution at “Del”, and said that the creation account in Genesis was poetic, not literal. Nobody’s parents screamed, as far as I recall.)

I think its scandalous that porn producers make their actresses dress like high school girls.
