Glad you like it :o).

I have a bunch of items on the TODO for this program.  Would you like
to collaborate?

Sure!  By the way, netdraw 0.1.0 is attached.  This one has a separate server (ndserv.py)
that allows an arbitrary number of clients to connect:

$ python ndserv.py & # server (non-graphical)
$ python ndcli.py &  # launch first client 
$ python ndcli.py &
$ python ndcli.py &

By the way, netdraw depends on threads, which are not present in cygwin's python.  
People on Windows running cygwin might want to download one of the non-cygwin versions 
of python for Windows (e.g., ActiveState) and make a symbolic link to it from /usr/bin
for convenience.
