just need to grab a plane :-) More seriously, i wonder if they couldn't do it over the internet ...

Another interesting question what this has to do with PyPy (or did i miss anything?) :-)

cheers,

Well, I was vaguely thinking -- aha, so _that's_ the sort of operating system we need to make, to handle these sorts of crazy people -- and, indeed, why not over the internet? (For these people, of course, it is 'so we can get media attention'). People are at least trying to think about networking in different ways :-) Be nice if we gave them a language they didn't have to count the bits in to develop some of these ideas. But that all sort of just passed through my mind in a nice rosy feeling, and then I posted here... sorry about that... Laura
