You are only *close* to thinking this?!

I run the computer lab at a public primary school. In
this case, "primary" means kindergarten through second
grade. If you are only *close* to thinking that
computers are demons, you have clearly never seen
twenty-five Windows PCs being used by twenty-five
children (say, five and six years old) all at the same
time in the same room. "Demonic" is a mild word for
some of the class sessions I've had to deal
with--computer glitches and all.

Still, I have had some limited chances to use VPython
in the lab; and the kids seem to like what they've
seen so far. I'm hoping to use it for more instruction
in solid geometry and computer graphics as time goes
on.
