Chris, you're a dinosaur, only thing is, somebody forgot to tell you. *Everything* these days revolves around graphical interfaces. The console, which was once the dark and mystical battlefield where knighted geeks would slay the plagues of exception demons, has been reduced to a mere: "little black box of nostalgia". 1. Rock is dead... 2. The console is dead... 3. Welcome to the 21st century Chris! PS: Although i'll bet you think the "rock is dead" mantra is relatively recent, nope! Jim Morrison was singing about it waaay back in 1969! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
