I dunno... every Sunday I press keys on a keyboard at church, and I'm pretty sure that's a mechanical device. Well, electrical and mechanical, but not living. But that's another specific meaning, and it would be equally incorrect to call that a gadget as to call my lung one. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
