games still have levels for the same reason music still has albums. it's a decent presentation for ideas/stories, and you can easily adapt it in a linear fashion (i.e. beginning, middle, end)
There's nothing like an Herbert Schildt book to give a young CS student. It teaches them how to not make mistakes and how programming can go wrong. If I were a professor, I would require all the students to find errors in these error-prone books. The more errors you find, the better grade you get.

I might switch. I don't dislike Windows nor OSX. I don't like Linux, however because it's not a desktop system.
Angband's a great RPG. Although it's more for D&D freaks.. :D
