That definitely seems to be the case.  I guess many sys admins get 
bored with their jobs, and decide to do linguistics on the side. ;-)

Cf. this (cool) website -- written in Latin -- by a Norwegian computer 
geek: http://latinitas.org/

And another one of my favorites:  http://www.greeklatinaudio.com/

I myself am a hopin' to learn enough Latin to get to read the Vulgate 
in a couple of years' time. ;-)
