i'd like people to use the programs i create, the average windows user will
not like using a console...
anyway, i really like programming, but i'm still in highschool, and i never
now what to program next.
i just think that gui's would give me more options..
anyway, it looks to me like tk is still the best gui to learn, any really
good tutorials out there?
(i once found one written especially Ruby, but it asumed you already had tk
knowledge, so that didn't work...)

greetings, Dirk
