Chris,
While we're on the subject of ipython usability and conveniences ...
At your talk last night, I very much liked the appearance of ipython that you
had chosen.
The white screen background, the font, and the text colors were effective and
pleasant to look at.
It looked like you were running ipython in an ordinary Mac Terminal window. May I ask what font
you were using, and if there were any other terminal preferences you set to get that appearance?
It might seem like a small point but it makes a difference.
Jon
