Maybe this is true. However, it use seems like the Japanese are kicking
our butts in visual programing languages.  Two examples are:

   Extended HI-Visual by T. Ichikawa       (Univ. of Hiroshima)
     & 
   The Show and Tell system by T.D. Kimura (Washington Univ. in St. Louis)

Seems like the future is much brighter in visual languages than plain old
standard compiled languages.  Also not to start a war, but I know that
Show and Tell runs on Mac, does anyone know of any visual languages on the
Amiga?
