Which reminds me. Nearly everbody I know wants a Mac for Christmas. So perhaps we are only numerating the dinosaurs here.
I actually got myself - or am getting myself - a MAC for Christmas. Actually as hand-me-down from a friend who bought his wife a new one for Christmas. The same friend who, BTW, advised be to buy Apple when it was selling at 15. I didn't listen, of course. And he can afford to buy his wife a new MAC for Christmas. He thinks it (the stock) is still a good buy. It will be nice if the world comes down to a choice between KDE and Gnome. I know that ubuntu is moving toward making available a KDE desktop as an alternative, within their framework. As to wxPython, I'm afraid it just failed a test of some importance to me. VPython does not run interactively from PyShell or PyCrust. It just hangs. It does run interactively from the native prompt and from the Idle prompt. Kirby: I don't know it Patrick listens in here anymomre. You might want to make the wxPython-dev folks aware of this issue. I wonder if it related to the fact that wxPython *is* running over GTK and VPython is a GTK window. Anywhere it's a bit disappointing. Art
