That supports a claim of “there are many programs available that primarily manipulate something other than text”. You didn't make that claim, so providing support for that is irrelevant. Your actual claim is that “the rest of the world has moved on from text”. You haven't supported that claim at all, and I see endless text everyday in “the rest of the world”. So your claim is false. -- \ “I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I | `\ consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no | _o__) superhuman authority behind it.” —Albert Einstein, letter, 1953 | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
