hey team, in a completely un-python-related thread about mobile phones last week, a friend (who I did not know knew anything about python), when asked what made a certain nokia phone stand out above one from another company, replied: "... nokia runs python, the language built on beer." does the PSF have any t-shirts that advertise this fact? :)
apologies for replying to my own posting- the "fact" I wished to advertise was the beer one, not the nokia one!

I don't know where that quote comes from, but it's true! During the early days, when hacking on Python, I often lived on stroopwafels and beer. (If you've never visited the Netherlands, you *must* Google for stroopwafels. :-) On Mon, 20 Sep 2004 17:28:05 -0700, Tommy Burnette <tommy@ilm.com> wrote:
