Er, not really. Well, not in *my* intro to CS course, they weren't. What's that quote? ... ah, yes: "Computer science is about computers in the same way astronomy is about telescopes" -Edsgar Dijkstra I can honestly say that not a single CS course I ever took had anything to do with setting up a hard drive.
