Flame on?

I cannot believe it.  My Branch of my organization just hired three
people in a row with CS degrees (Master's as well as BS) but without any
exposure to U*X!  The first had Univac expierence, the second (with a Master's)
has IBM experience, and the third, I haven't asked yet.  I met a
CS masters student in LA several years ago who had not exposure to compilers,
operating systems (much less U*X), or any language other than FORTRAN or COBOL.

Is our community so closed that major portions are just gapping holes?
I know the net does not reach Japan [A friend administers several sites in
Korea].
