That's not what I said either. I really tried to stress that
it was just an example for the sake of the name. Please tell me
how I could possibly express this any clearer, so that I can
do so in the future.

I mean that network-geeks have a tendency to ignore anything
that's got to do with graphics-programming.

The point is that it's illogical not to support fullscreen graphics,
but a bunch of other stuff, without any explanation whatsoever.
The programming languages I know of, has a long tradition
of having some way of doing fullscreen graphics natively, and I don't
see any reason for Python not to have this possibility.
