 I had the opposite experience - I worked for a company that did screen
 savers, and the head of engineering only hired people from a handful of
 schools. Many of the algorithms behind those patterns were mathematical
 or physics-based, and he had coders with backgrounds in each.

 They were the most sanctimonious, "I could do IT's job better than IT"
 lusers I'd ever supported.

 We did have an Australian coder who made me laugh. He opened a helpdesk
 ticket that claimed that "the laserwriter in engineering has gone
 billy"
