In Reply to Peter Merchant at the US Merchant Marine Academy,

	I do not know about specific applications in the area of Marine 
Engineering, but I do know that the US Coast Guard Academy has announced that
cadets will be required to purchase Macintosh systems.  In addition it is
encouraging instructors to increase their use of the computer as a teaching 
tool. They believe, "As the sharing of software throughout the academic 
community spirals, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy expects this trend to 
enhance its entire educational program."
	In the area of general engineering, for example, Seymour Cray of
Cray Research is using the Macintosh as a tool as he designs the next 
generation of Cray Supercomputers.  In addition, a number of engineers are
using the Macintosh as a design tool.  This use can only increase with 
the introduction of the Macintosh II, which is a very powerful engineering
workstation.....I had seen it during development, but when it was introduced
its power still blew me away!
