>Here is something I am interested in. How many programmers play a musical instrument? I have worked with many who do - and in the last ten years I would say that about 90 % of those who do not have degrees in computer science, play an instrument. Those with degrees in computer science seem to be able to play the keyboard (computer). That comment may start a beef!

I'm an electronic engineer, and studied organ for about 6 years when I was a kid and now I bang on an electric piano I have about once a year.

Ricardo Wenger is a concert cello player.

Kevin McNeish, I think played the guitar pseudo-professionally at some point.

Another pattern I've found, is people moving from Biology into computers.
