We serve 'em fresh 'n' tasty.  Of course if you've seen "Spirited Away,"
you know what happens when you eat too many of them!

Yes, having only one guy do OO is not a realistic way for migration to
proceed.  The OO paradigm has to be accepted and used by a lot of
people.  I am hoping that by embedding Python into Xconq, and showing
people how it can be used, people will become willing to use it for
various tasks.  Eventually people become "sold" and "hooked" on Python.
