	I am "lucky" I would say to have exereinced enough computer
knowledge to run circles around most of the people who publish articles for
magazinse like _Comuter Shopper_ and _PC World_.  I seem to be able to pick
up on these things easil :>.  Earlier this semester I got a hands on
experience with a NeXT which blew me away..  I had seen SUN's and Mac
Quadra's and wasn't really imressed.  But the NeXT's ease of programing and
open system was ver impressing.  I posted a message (8501) were I tried to
find out a little more about the NeXT(12/14/92).  So I went down to the
bookstore and picked up NeXTWorld and perused it.  Steve Jobs is one smart
cookie.  I would like to professionally developing software after college,
or at least doing something computer related.  Either way I would like to
do what ever I plan on, on the NeXT.  So I guess it is reasonable to ask
what universities offer programs(classes that is) that revolve around 
application development on Steve Job's machine.

	I have developed aprox. 10 apps on the
IBM which are written in Turbo PASCAL(which is very laughable compared to
the NeXT's Obj-C).

-  Al  -
P.S. I guess its kinda good to still be a junior in high school, because I
still have many doors open.

University of Houston does a lot of work with Obj-C and NeXTstep.
But hey...look at a NeXTonCampus.  There are a bunch of universities
that have and actively use NeXTs.
