It is time for our culture to learn that a complete set of software for a computer includes a compiler or other programming tools. Being computer literate must include a basic knowledge of programming, not just how to use the computer as an expensive typewriter. Send email to a teacher, a legislator, or a parent. You can even print this out and send it to your local paper, school administrator, or your parents. Get the word out.
Computers are for programming.
If you don't know what a compiler is, or you don't understand what I'm saying here. Send me email.
