        My name is Duane Crawford, and I am a McNair Scholar at UMBC.  I
am a computer science major currently working on a research project to
find out which computer programming language is most appropriate for
beginning computer science majors.  I would like to know if you can spare
a couple of minutes to help me with my survey on computer programming
languages.  Can you answer the following questions and send them back to
me(dcrawf3@gl.umbc.edu) with your comments added. Please forward this
message to anyone who could help.
