QOTW:  "Needless to say with all of 2 weeks Tcl/Tk experience under my
belt I love it and am also amazed at how few people 'on the street' seem
to have heard of it. It is by far the easiest programming language I have
tried to use, and the most powerful for small applications." Larry Gagnon

"In any case, I have to say, Tcl/Tk and its user community (especially
the commun ity) is AMAZING and I LOVE IT ;D" unnamed chat-ter

"Tcl is simple and straightforward, thinking that way is sometimes
hard." Bruce Hartweg
