I know that save from a few liberal arts colleges and some very very small technical colleges, not many of the professors in Indiana would do this.

As we rank neer 48th or 49th out of our states in edukashun (yeah anywear near 50 is bad), only the smartist pee-ple go to kollage. Of thoze people most of theem get fed windowz stuff.

I went to King's for four years, does that make me cool by association? ;-);-)

Good stuff. I wish the University of Manchester would do something similar.

Right on!  Giving me ideas for my final project!  An AROS project!  Still I'm only in my first year!

Got an old pc coming in off ebay, so I can run AROS, and start dabbling in the development!

In Liverpool John Moores University.

I can't say I like his introductory paragraph. In fact the Amiga still has many features that are unavailable on most machines, regardless of cards installed. Sprites, color compressed video modes, copperlists, multiple playfiends, genlocking...

There's a lot of C stuff in the Fish library.  Anyone?  Especially the stuff that uses Sprites, Playfields and Copperlists.

Heh.
