Linux Gazette: Downloading LinuxToday links and Linux Gazette's TOC with Python (and Perl) (Feb 17, 2001, 19:38)
"I choose Python because I have been using it for quite a while
for a mathematical project, and it has proven quite useful. I want
to make a habit of using Python now. It tends to be easier for me
to program in Python than Perl. Also, in the future, I wish to use
threading to download many webpages at the same time, which Python
does very well."

Tracy Reed: My Un-American Essay; a response to MS exec, Jim Allchin (Feb 17, 2001, 15:12)
"Their immediate goal in Washington is to poison our leaders on

Craig Burton: Free Advice to Jim Allchin: Get a Clue, Get a Plan (Feb 17, 2001, 14:38)

threatening to Microsoft and its protectionist practices of the
past. The reason Jim doesn't like the open source movement is
because it is doing the same thing to Microsoft that Microsoft does
to other companies."
