I once had one of his quote on the back of my business card when I was doing a lot of software dev consultancy: "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes".

I keep meaning to sit down with this site and make my way through it all. Might make more progress if I grab them into an eReader-friendly format and then peruse them more easily when travelling.

Astronomy is not named "Telescope Science" though. ;-)

In Europe Informatics is more common than CS.

You’re only half serious, but this is actually a good point.

[PaulRobinson]

That's his point: "Computer Science" is a poor name for that area of study.

The problem with that quote is that all of us reading this are telescope operators, not astronomers. The quantity and quality of our telescope photos is what we are paid for so we have no choice but to know our chosen brand of telescope inside and out.
