I see, so Python has to somehow offset the "goofiness" of its name while Google can rest on its reputation. Never occured to you that the goofiness of the name "Google" is at least an order of magnitude greater than Python. And FYI, Google didn't start out with the popularity it enjoys today, it gained it *despite* the silly name. Thanks God it was created by geeks and not clueless PHBs like those that dismiss Python for its name. George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
