Any science with the word science in its name is still out trying to prove itself to the world, and hasnt been accepted by the general public as a science. Whether we are scientific or not isnt the issue. We stopped calling Physics "the physical sciences" when enough of the world knew what we were talking about that we could stop with the long form. Ask your self this...if we started calling it Computing rather than Computer Science, would the general public be able to categorize it as a science? Michael Wagner, UofToronto Computing Services
