Oh no... Murphy's Law! I can recommend Mac OS X 10.5, its Time Machine
makes it really easy to keep daily backups :).

Looks cool! I have only skimmed through the text (actually understanding
most of it would require more effort, and probably a dictionary), but
I like the pictures and video.

Sure, if you need more interactivity than e.g. QuickTime VR offers,
Pipmak is certainly an appropriate tool for this.

Good idea, but why exactly is this useful? In what way does a long
history bother you?

I see what you're getting at, and this is certainly an interesting
feature, but I think the command line history is the wrong place for it.
The history should record what the results were at the time I executed
the expressions, history should not be rewritten when the values change.
Also, the expressions in the history should not be automatically
reevaluated because they may have had side-effects, I wouldn't want my
assignments or state-changing function calls to be unpredictably repeated.
A continuously updated expression viewer could be implemented as a
separate inspector window, or perhaps integrated with the table inspector.
(We should probably start to use the trackers at SourceForge
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=112801&atid=663295> to make
sure such ideas don't get lost on the mailing list.)
