Now this is not really an answer but a thought.
When I was at school there were two sets of people. The people who could programme in BASIC and the people who did sports. (yes there were some others but lets not muddy the waters eh.) Although Mr Bin and I didn't know each other then we fell into the former group.

Now travel on 20 years to today.
There is a chap I work with who is one of the sporty types. His computer didn't work so Mr Bin fixed it.
So the sporty people need us now, they need us nerds as the world relies on computers. All those years spent in the IT room with the BBC computers was needed.

So why are they still considered better? When ever a computer gives up the ghost a nerd gets called in? What good are the sporty types unless they are in the army?

Oh I need something utterly arbitrary and pointless needs winning, I know, I'll give the bloke who's good at kicking a ball around a shout.
This doesn't happen.

Oh my computer won't connect to the internet and I can't find out in my beloved Arsenel Town have won. I'd better get the bloke who fixes the printers and can't see the point in the five aside team.


So if someone is crap at PE they should be given extra computer lessons for the geek shall inherit the Earth.
