Today I used Python, PyGtk and Glade to design the form (screen layout) of the TIL Loader. I have already implemented the TIL Loader in Delphi. The next step is to translate it from Object Pascal (Delphi) into Python.
I now have both Linux and Windows installed on my home computer. I installed the Mozilla Thunderbird email client, which is now working. Also I successfully modified the "grub.conf" file to boot up Windows by default. So things are moving along nicely.

Installed Linux
Yesterday and early this morning I burned the DVD and installed Linux on my home computer. It went (surprisingly) fairly smoothly. There are still 3 issues outstanding:
- I want to change the boot loader's default operating system from Linux to Windows.
- Every time I log in to Linux, I must remove and reinsert the Bluetooth thing so I can use my cordless mouse/keyboard. Luckily I can use one of the USB ports on the front of my computer to make this task easier.
- I can receive but not send email. I emailed tech support but this is still an issue. I intend to ditch my email client and download Mozilla Thunderbird.
I guess the next order of business would be for me to get busy learning the Python programming language and PyGtk, in both Windows and Linux environments.
