KU's undergraduate computer science curriculum is fairly restrictive.  Every
class I have taken so far has used VAX/VMS.  Except for CS 200, which uses a
very wimpy Pascal INTERPRETER for the Macintoshes.  The only language that
is enforced as a teaching device is Pascal.  While there are classes in C
and Lisp (!), they don't have much ramifications anywhere else in the program.
Anyhow, I'll step down off of my soapbox for the time being.

By the way, "A mind is a wonderful thing to waste" comes off the back of a
t-shirt that I wear that has a picture of Einstein wearing sunglasses.
