Actually, the deeper problem with the Presario is it's been overheating and spontaneously shutting down, sometimes after only a few minutes of use. Given I'm to lead a 3 hour Python training for ESRI the day after I get back from Pycon, I really needed a more reliable laptop. Solution: just ordered a "remanufactured" Toshiba A60 (2.8 Ghz 256 DDR) for about $770, plus 2nd day shipping. I hope this proves a viable solution. It's not like my ESRI gig will pay enough compensate. And I think they're expecting more win32all type examples, so I'm going to have to track down that Mark Hammond book (ISBN 1565926218)and cram (I not a big COM/MFC user, that I can tell you). So, whaddya think Arthur: should we be sharing Fuller's concentric hierarchy with grade schoolers? See you (and who else on edu-sig?) at Pycon.
