Trivia question:  The United Space Ship Enterprise's second captain was 
James T. Kirk.  Who was her first captain?  Extra credit:  What does the 
"T" in Kirk's name stand for?  The first captain (other than Robert April 
who served for a short time as Enterprise's captain during her shakedown 
cruise) to command Enterprise after its commissioning was Christopher 
Pike, played by Jeffrey Hunter in the dual episode entitled "Menagerie," 
which was cobbled together from scenes taken here and there from the 
pilot, called "The Cage."  The "T" in James "T." Kirk stands for 
"Tiberias."

It's good. With some attention to detail you can make your views etc look 
like they belong on the Mac. (Just like anything else: you can make an 
interface that looks and behaves like crap in Interface Builder too).

And the multiple language support (C++, Python, Perl, Ruby I think) is 
nice too - one toolkit for whatever language you're working in at the 
time. And cross-platform too :)

Hope this helps,
