I'm a BS'd Mechanical Engineer and I was hired to develop a Mac application because the (CS) persons interviewed before me had trouble with the concept of a user interface. Of course the app is Engineering-related and its primary users are Mech-E's so all this hacking hasn't totally invalidated my degree (yet). Well, okay, I also use MacApp (hah!). I, Brian P. Arnold, an admitted Engineer, refuse to use Fortran, on a Mac or on any computer ever. There, I said it. I've now broken with my past and can now live among the Mac hacker Cult, if I could ever get sufficiently proficient to be called one... - Brian
