anyway I suddenly remembered back in 1980s I had a pen and notebook and used to write large amounts of pseudocode in it - I remember spending a week in a farm with no electricity and writing enormous amounts of code. So I have bought a nice notebook and a gel pen. I am too lazy to sharpen a pencil and also sharpeners are not allowed in hand baggage on planes. So I am good to go. -- Regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Associate NRC-FOSS at AU-KBC _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
