the simplest editor now allows one to store a file in ones's choice of

in Win10?

It is my observation that Squeak is the last gasp uttered by a mouse when
it fears death.  It is not a normal sound they make unless they are being
eaten by a Python!   I hope the Python people don't release code that
simply doesn't work.


I too am often frustrated by code that will just not work. When I wish to
blame the libraries I use, I end up asking myself "how likely is it that
the bug is in my code, written by a single frail, weak human, versus a big
in code used every day, in anger, by thousands of people?" I am hardly
humble, but this thought does help me at least try to practice humility. It
is almost always the case that the error end up being mine.
