Haha now *that* thought came right out of my head.  I argued with a lot of
people, some profs, when our CS dept changed from teaching Pascal, to C++,
then to java.  I said it doesn't matter.  You're not learning a language.  
You're learning how to program.  Any language.  That can be taught with 
any high-level language.  After you know the fundamentals, you should be 
able to pick up any language in a few hours.  Granted, it'll take much 
longer than that to master.
