Having just been around the national museum in Taiwan and admired the
polished stone artifacts from 5000BC, lovingly preserved by future generations
it has to be said stone age s/w (MH) seems to be lasting a lot longer than
tree-borne reproductive organs wrapped in wrinkly wood.

Written in a TCL/TK gui on top of MH of course...

PS Mind you, pickled MH probably heads towards bad things but pickled walnuts
   have nothing to do with Python.

PPS boxing and racing have the concept of weight for age don't they? isn't MH
    allowed to get a little fat around the middle now its past middle age?
