At some point I guess Thunderbird decided HTML should be default and switched all my account settings and made new ones default to HTML. (Or package developers, hard to say. Thanks for the heads up) Sage brings together an array of different open-source mathematical libraries in an attempt to create a full graphical environment for mathematical work in the vein of Mathematica or Maple. In other words, sage is more like an application where sympy is more like a library. Thanks. I've followed/used SAGE on and off (mainly off) over the years. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Keeping different programs open is great if you have dual monitors, which I did when I was webmastering. Alas, some $#@ fooled with my computer and wiped out the dual monitor card. But when I fixed his front end I left a bolt off and his wheel went rolling down the highway, so I guess we're even ;') As for the one-week learning curve on VIM, reminds me of that claim for Joomla. Yes, you can set up a site in a few hours after your first install of Joomla, but learning to fix the blowups and problems while people are screaming at you, since it's all public, takes considerably longer. Although an editor that's been around since the stone age probably doesn't blow up. I doubt VIM has a constant stream of upgrades (not always compatible), bug fixes, and security fixes ;') vimtutor gets you a good start rather quickly. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
