Jack,

 I'm still here and very interested!

 I finally quit my job at UVA, and I've just gotten around to switching
my email subscriptions to another account ( either sdm7g@mac.com or
majewss@cstone.net ) and getting it hooked up to OSX's mail client
( as well as moving lots of work onto my personal laptop from my
former office machines ).

 I'm taking some time off -- I'm about to leave to go camping at the
beach with my two boys. When I get back (besides job hunting) I'm
going to get back into macpython and pyobjc in a major way -- I should
have a bit more time to hack on it.

 CC: to bbum -- Bill's the email admin. on the pyobjc mailing list --
Bill: if you don't have time to handle it you could transfer it to me.
But maybe because the list has been so quit, he just hasn't looked it
the inbox for a while. ( alternatives: just make the list open ? or
now that it's getting more mailstream for macpython, just switch to
macpython list ? )

 I'll excitedly try out all this stuff as soon as I get back from the
beach!
