things I need to do, but sadly, when I need to order a pizza, I still
have to pick up the telephone.
There are several chains of pizzerias in the U.S. that provide for
Internet-based ordering (e.g. www.papajohnsonline.com) so, with the
Internet modules in R, it's only a matter of time before you will have a
pizza-ordering function available.
Indeed, the GraphApp toolkit (used for the RGui interface under R for
Windows, but Guido forgot to include it) provides one (for use in Sydney,
Australia, we presume as that is where the GraphApp author hails from).
Alternatively, a Padovian has no need of ordering pizzas with both home
and neighbourhood restaurants
