What might be nice would be for enthought to press a CD release for it, and charge a nominal fee ($10-15?) to recover some of the cost you put into the thing. I've converted a former adviser to using python plus the standard goodies in a course he is teaching in place of matlab. 95% of his students are win32. I suggested enthon to him but he was put off by the download size, so there might be a small market for a CD. Granted, any semi-literate person could simply download and burn it themselves, but we shouldn't overestimate literacy in the wild. For people like my adviser, he would probably rather order 15 copies for his next course rather than figure out how to download it and burn it. But I suspect he is an exception case: I sometimes refer to him as the only Luddite I know with a cluster of Sun workstations. JDH
