[no subject]

Another cool thought.  Some researchers in my building (Bioscience &
Bioengineering) have been using Python to do some truly cross-platform
code, and they're producing consistent GUIs across three different
platforms.

Heck, to demo their cross-platform compatibility, they ran the same file
(off a network share) on a Linux box, a Windows 2000 box, and a Mac (i
think, don't quote me) and it ran consistenly.  Pretty sweet stuff.

Thanks & HTH
