That's actually quite a serious problem with SMC that I didn't think much about before, although it surely has been mentioned by others: new users of Sage introduced to it via SMC are quite locked in since they cannot use their worksheets without SMC, even though they can download them, and they can't even start from scratch on a local installation without learning a new interface first, with all the differences between interact and plotting implementations. These users are also likely to lack knowledge necessary for writing/improving conversion scripts... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
