Thank you for pointing this out. Honestly, that wasn't really my main point. I just wanted to point out that SAGE has the capabilities to become a powerful tool to be actually used by engineers during their job, rather than being a very beautiful toy. So, in my opinion I would prefer to get thos

Hi Minh, you got the Bode plot I was talking about. Please, try to compare it to our demo (we talked about that in this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_frm/thread/221ebcb20940d8dc/94e1551399325c5c?lnk=gst&q=bode+plot#94e1551399325c5c): The demo is at this notebook: http:

I know this is not being polite from me, but would you also consider implementing folders in SAGE notebook? I would really appreciate, since the number of my notebooks is growing fast, and I'm wondering how you guys are managing it, maybe the feature it's already there and I don't know about it.
