<<<Flames about an object oriented programming course>>>

Doug Alan (nessus@mit-eddie) recently flamed me in this public
place for not reading the rest of a newsgroup before replying
to his posting.  Sorry to disillusion you Doug, I did.  I
never saw the correction you claim to have posted.  It *might*
have gotten lost.

About the rest of the flame ... just HOW do you claim to know
more about the course than the people who taught it?  And I don't
see why the CPU-intensive nature of object oriented programming
systems shouldn't enter into the planning for the next edition
of an experimental course.

Re "neat concepts":  quantum physics is neat too, but don't you
teach mechanics first?
