where did you get this from? It must have been a private message, I
checked the archives of the last days for the case I deleted something
too fast, but nothing there.
Fact is, there are no more computer professionals among the tangueros
than in the average population. In Melinas report, only 29% of the male
dancers had technical professions. If you take the users of mailing
lists, the percentage might be slightly higher, but the biggest german
tango list has about 500 members and this is not representative for the
many thousands of dancers in the country.

As far as I know, the theory of squares and triangles was developed by
argentinians like Naveira and Salas and not by german computer
specialists :). I don't believe they developed it for the purpose of
instructing the "patas duras" ;).
