First of all, because they won't let you just start in the middle so I'd
have to sit through the first two/three years being bored.  Secondly,
because then in stead is sitting behind the computer 25% of the time or
something I'd be doing it 100% of the time :), and thirdly, because I
simply like chemistry/physics better than CS.  If there were open-chemistry
or open-physics projects over the net, in stead of open-source, I wouldn't
be here ;).  Programming is just my hobby, but my love is in chemistry and
physics.

But on the other hand, if Alliance ever gets to the stage when dummies will
start using it, that'll be (for me) the true sign that our project has
succeeded.
