No problem :) I'm sure a lot of people will/have benefitted from your work.

Right now, I'm working as a Web designer... Sort of ID. I graduate in
December, though. In the past ocuple of years, I've worked for an Architecture
firm here in NC, and an Industrial Design firm in Japan.

Sounds like pretty decent advice. I got accepted at Carnegie Mellon, but did
not at all like their program when I visited them. I ended up going to NC
State. I've been really happy in their Design school, though the fact that
students are given key codes to get into the Studios at all hours somehow
results in students going into Studio at all hours... :)
When you are looking at schools, don't be fooled by the prestige of the
University Name... look at the individual schools/colleges and their resources
and faculty. I don't know how much has changed, but I remember that CMU Design
was really run-down and behind the times when I looked at them, while NCSU
School of Design has the second largest budget of any school or college in the
entire UNC school system (second only to UNC-Chapel Hill Medical School). We
just got 15 NT machines running Alias Studio 8.5, and the plan for next year is
to get 30 more licenses (it's normally a $30,000 program) and a secure room
where students can bring their own machines and plug into the network to run
Alias (Wahoo!... too bad I'll only see that for a semester).
If you are ever in the Raleigh area, drop me a line, and I can show you around
the school.
Anyway, Good luck! :)
