There's a lot of humour in there, but this:

CSCI 3300: Classical Software Studies
Discuss and dissect historically significant products, including VisiCalc, AppleWorks, Robot Odyssey, Zork, and MacPaint. Emphases are on user interface and creativity fostered by hardware limitations.

I'd take that course in a heart beat. I've read some of Atkinson's ideas and thoughts, and the man was deeply sane.

It must be decades now that my LinkedIn background banner is a screen shot of Zork source code.

deeply sane
