BG> Love that portable code!Wow, that is awesome news. BTW, I just last weekend installed OS X on my wife's G4, but I haven't had time to play with it much because it was 10.0 and a number of things didn't work quite right. I didn't want to sleep on the couch all week, so I reboot it to 9.1 and sent my check for the MacOSX upgrade kit. :) Soon as I get the 10.1 discs I do plan to spend some time twiddling with Python and Mailman on MacOSX.
BTW, I'm almost entirely Windows-free now (with occasional wagon tumbles with VMware that always make me feel dirty and ashamed afterwards. :). The Mac is a quite cool OS to play with and OSX only makes it cooler.
