Finally, here is my little rant against computer games. You expect computer freaks to be gamers? You’re so wrong. Actually, there are two groups of computer geeks who don’t communicate with each other: The programmers and the gamers; Well, to be honest, the only intersection are game programmers, but they’re time-wasters in my eyes, too.

I can’t understand why the gamers of all people assess themselves as being qualified for an IT-oriented education, just because they sit in front of a screen all day long and play different kinds of... games. Their only real practise in handling a PC is to open and close a CD-ROM drive, get illegal copies of commercial games from peer-to-peer networks and download cracks for these from the web.
