>Never tried Arabic. I imagine that every time you sit at a Turkish computer keyboard with the Latin alphabet you are thinking "Atatürk'ün eline sağlık" :-) ( is that correct - I am thinking of a play on words with "Elenize saglik" ? )

eline sağlık is correct but I would not prefer eline sağlık for that... Maybe "Atatürk'e şükranlarımızı sunariz".


>I think being educated first in Arabic would make many things in computers more difficult, but I think computer science is very popular in Turkey.

When I was at high school computer science was first popular at University exams. But now medical school is first populer again after global crisis... :)
