Sigh. It's Bruce Ediger. What's more, Bruce denies coming up with it, and he also says it isn't true, according to his wife's experience. http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2002/08/nipple.html (the quest for whose it is) http://groups.google.com/group/comp.editors/msg/882fd4ef853ee770 (Bruce deniying it's his) There is no intuitive interface, not even the nipple. It's all learned. - Bruce Ediger, 2001 -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
