Re: "Tkinter"
I'm not familiar with it... or with anything else about Python. Is it freely available? Maybe I'll nab a copy if I can and try catching up to you. I may as well tap into having a Python expert living in my house (probably for a couple of more months. My son is already making plans to move back to Charlottesville)...

He's getting more into his special project now. He gave a presentation last week to two guys from Intel, both of whom are PhDs with "Director" as part of their job titles (one was something like "Director of Processor Architecture"). He says it went well - his presentation was the only one that didn't get picked apart by the two. (Which COULD mean that they didn't find it interesting, I suppose...)

The goal of the project, remember, is to make Intel's future processors even faster by introducing "predictive" algorithms.

Decomposed > Heh. In other words, you're programming!

Yeah, you could say so.
I've been working with Tkinter . . . Making my
program in a graphical environment. I've got
a program which draws a parabola.

And solves the quadratic equation. Funny thing
though . . If I use Pythons square root finder,
and the answer is a complex number (sqrt(-1)
it will give me the answer as a complex number.
If I use the Math functions it refuses and gives
me a 'you can't take the square root of a negative
number' message.

But I am having fun with it.
(And taking a free on line course in it.)
