Look into the "Stanford GraphBase" at: http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/sgb.html A great source of some data with some interesting related exercises. Also, a few screen-scraping programs that suck _current_ information from some sources should also delight; the students have a shot at getting ahead of the teacher. --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
