And you will find my name in the acknowledgements in the preface as I 
helped with the course development in its first two years. Gerry was my 
advisor as well for a while.   I heard from him last month, when he 
finished his new K2.

Last year MIT started offering a mixed course for non-majors, of 3 units 
of Scheme (a mini version of this course) and the rest with high-level 
programming in Python.  They teach Signals and Systems using both Scheme 
and Python now (not just Scheme), and I recently suggested a lab 
involving the popular SoftRock kits as a practicum.  (In my day we had 
to build the FM demodulator...)
