You wouldn't believe how many headhunters call me in search of
NeXTSTEP programmers. (UIUC is fed heavily by students who are from
the Chicago area, and that is where much of the activity is, of
course).
Because our CS department believes in Suns and plain-jane C, I have
had to tell them 'well, you can wait until the 3 people I know who
have written anything in NeXTSTEP graduate in 2 years!'.  (This is
changing rapidly on our campus with the addition of 60 new public
lab machines this past summer, however)
