I don't know. I know Pascal was what was taught at college level for a long time. I'm not up on the history of the federal AP standards. I just figured it was set pre-internet, is way less relevant nowadays and is an insane first language to teach kids, in any case. Of course, Java has similar conventions, but is way more relevant, portable and object oriented from the ground up (as opposed to C++ being just an object oriented 'C' hack). I'm happy for the kids in any case, and of course even happier for myself as a SUNW shareholder. <g> -JCJ
