"It reduced my enthusiasm for creating my own company."
                            Guido van Rossum on the Interwoven
			    acquisition of Ajuba Solutions

    A rough summary of recent news:  while it's a slow time for clever
    tricks and revelations, a stunning number of strategic decisions
    in favor of Tcl continue to roll out each week.  Not only do IBM
    and Oracle rely on Tcl for their mainstay software products; Cisco
    also just choose Tcl (again!) for a crucial role:  "the Tcl Team
    at ActiveState will start working on modularizing the tcl core as
    part of contract work for Cisco Systems ..."
