Well, I believe that Maple uses Motif and I have to use that from time to time. xmaple is very ugly. Maybe, just maybe, there will be a Gnome interface for Maple.
You were using GLX I believe. It's relatively new (relative to X that is) (I can't remember how long its been around). Anyway, X couldn't always do that.
Powerpuff Girls is my favorite new cartoon. Genndy Tartakovsky's (the head guy for both Dexter's Laboratory (sadly, it seems that no new episodes are going to be produced) and the Powerpuff Girls) cartoons draw from Chuck Jones' (my favorite cartoon director) cartoons, both stylistically and in terms of humor. This resemblance to Chuck Jones cartoons is most obvious in the episode of Dexter's Lab in which Dexter is on a bike (with various modifications) and trying to catch Dee Dee on rollerblades. Halfway through the cartoon, Dee Dee does a road runneresque "beep beep" causing me to laugh violently. Tartakovsky's parody/celebration of anime, comic books, and American action cartoons is also great.
Droopy: Tex Avery never did too much for me. Some of his stuff is good but I think he is far overrated. I like Chuck Jones because his cartoons have a sort of logical illogic to them (eg the laws of physics conspiring against Wile E. Coyote) as opposed to the illogical illogic of Tex Avery.
Bullwinkle: Have to agree with you there. These cartoons were brilliant. I see Rocky and Bullwinkle as a precursor of the Simpsons in terms of being a satire on American society.
I intend to eventually make a batch of bracelets that have WWMBKD on them. This of course stands for "What Would Maynard B. Krebs Do?" (did I spell that right?).

Like the design of the bomb-walker robot (I think that's what it was called), which essentially was based on the principle of a daddy-long-legs spider.
The control mechanism contained meters above the earth supported by several extremelly long light weight legs that move across the surface.. as the robot steps on a bomb the leg is blown off but the rest of the robot remains to continue walking until all its legs are blown off.
Aren't you thinking of Dr. Zin's (sp?) robots from Jonny Quest?
>>Well if you're going to credit Liebniz, what about Descarte?
Descartes already has plenty of credit to his name, a little of it undeserved. The famous cartesian plane (named for Descartes) was actually thought of by Fermat earlier. I believe that Descartes came up with this independently but I think I remember there being evidence of him stealing some discovery. Still, fermatian plane doesn't sound as good.

SGI came up with GLX, but I don't think it was that long ago. I'm thinking it was a few years ago.
