This is interesting... How many people consider web page writing/design to
be
computer science?

I personally have a computer science degree, I wouldn't be caught dead
writing
web pages. I would consider writing a web server or browser, but html is
definitely
out!

Just cos I have a Comp. Sci. Degree doesn't mean I know how to use word! :)

Lets remember, there is a huge difference between a Computer Science Course
and a Programming Course!
