Willaim, I'll give Sage another try when I get a new computer (which hopefully isn't too far off), or when there is a native Sage for windows.
Thank you for your time. For now, I will stick to straight Python. I admire your dedication to the Sage project and wish you success. I will give Sage another look later on. (I might try out sympy in Python now.)
