And you can use it in URLs too (at least in Mozilla): python.org's IP address is 194.109.137.226, which is 3261958626 when represented as an integer. Typing http://3261958626/ in the browsers address bar takes you to the homepage :) -- "Codito ergo sum" Roel Schroeven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
