Disk Operating System Rules OK!

As a pythonista of somewhat longer standing I found PythonWin a delight. I
don't overstress it, and it works.

Naveed: while you are likely to stay more up-to-date by installing an
updated base Python and installing updated Win32 extensions, there's no real
reason for a "novice" to need (or even want :-) to be so close to the
(b)leading edge. I haven't heard anything to suggest the ActiveState
distribution isn't a perfectly practical solution to everyday needs.

Uwe: you'll clearly do well with such lateral thinking abilities. What
software did you use to generate the PS?
