I was in this program at IU, and later worked with Jonathan at Cisco-- and I actually remember this exact story being told by one of my AI's in class.

Guess it's become part of IU lore :-)

Seems to be that way. Never worked with Jonathan but I did do my undergrad at IU. Both 311 as well as 422 (? compilers) were a ton of fun. I may still have the code for scheme to C lying around somewhere... If you are a programmer and have never used scheme I'd recommend having fun one weekend with it.
