>> Who's "the ruling hierarchy"? I guess I just meant the congnoscenti. Them that knows what's what.
>> I'm a Mac fan, with Linux a close second I suspected. I've played with Linux distros, but never a Mac. That takes more $$ than M$, and Apple is even more proprietary than MS, if you ask me. It interests me how many Open Source advocates and anti-Microsoft folks are willing to pay top dollar for Macs, which I guess means that, for them, it's less a Cathedral vs. Bazaar thing and more about It Works vs. It Doesn't? I'm no Microsoft lover, but XP doesn't crash on my machines. So I continue using it, along with Python, Firefox and whatever else I please. Anyway, thanks for the info. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
