Though OT to this thread, people should read this. It's actually very poignant, read the right way - almost a love story to computational learning of math, and a passionate plea to make this capability easily available to anyone who could also be thus inspired. And it also hits home the points about both cost and things like Windows and slickness; these things really do matter - some benefit Sage, some Mma, and presumably others other systems. It reminds me of some people in contested elections, who really honestly like both candidates, and want to support the underdog, but just can't tear themselves away from the one that has the more polished message and that they are more familiar with. (And no, I am making no direct comparisons with Sage or Mma and any candidates in any actual election - only an analogy with what sometimes happens with individual voters.) - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
