i wouldn't consider myself an average user, i use linux/unix everywhere and have been using unix/linux in general for 7 years. and even i could not even come close to doing what the previous poster had said with python, or any other language. not that i have a need to ..but still. maybe someday i will get around to learning that stuff, but i don't see myself starting anytime soon. nate
