I'd buy that in a minute! I'd say I've gotten nothing out of IDL for
10+ years, other than having to give them money to move my
copies of the software to newer machines---though they do give
me the latest version at that time (which tends to break my old
crufty code, causing me to spend a week or so fixing things).

I've tried to get the python/scipy/numpy up and running on my MacBook
Pro (OSX 10.4) but it's been more of a hassle and still doesn't work
right...
