That's a great point. 
You are right, of course.
I am going back and learning Fortran, then on to modern stuff like LISP and COBOL.

"U.S. Says Hacker Stole IDs and Unreleased Scripts From Host of Celebrities" [^] NY Times Dec. 22:
Among the items he offered to sell were scripts for three comedy films, a hip-hop biopic and another television show; Social Security numbers for actors and professional athletes; and, according to the complaint, sex tapes of celebrities, including one Mr. Knowles later passed along that had been emailed from a television host and columnist to another radio host.
"This is just a sample of things I can get," Mr. Knowles wrote when he sent a sex tape to the potential buyer, who was in fact an undercover investigator. "I have more stuff along these lines and can get more if you’re interested." Evidently, Alonso forget about one of the basic principles of marketing: pre-qualify your customer, but, after all, he's only 23 years old. I'm sure he'll have time to do an MBA on-line in his new home where he won't have his attention disrupted by too much personal freedom.

Especially THAT kind of marketing. Also, luckily, crime doesn't pay (for a long time): even decades older, well ingrained in politics scoundrels had what they deserved for the same things.
