Think that's cool? Check out Google Moon to see their commemoration of the moon landing anniversary. Be sure to zoom all the way in, it's amazing!

I also use AutoIt quite a bit, so I may be biased. If your looking for an editor, many script editors have AutoIt syntaxes you can use, but AutoIt has a version of SciTE that build-checks your scripts and gives you hint boxes as you type, compile from the editor, etc. as well as the rest of the features you might expect (syntax coloring, etc.). Also, a character by the name of Rob van der Woude has a page full of scripting resources from good ol' batch to VBScript, Kixtart, Perl, Rexx and WSH. Other than that, I've tiddled around with Kixtart and I only have VBScript experience writing tables for Visual Pinball (0wnZ!!) so can't speak for any others.

Unfinished Requests / Re: IDEA: Printing your file window

Karen's Directory Printer works pretty good, too.
PowerDesk has that function built-in. (search Google for "pd5free.exe" for the personal edition of version 5)
Also see the topic I started at Xplorer2 forums for a pretty wild discussion towards the end about doing it with batch files. Here's what eventually shook out:
I found this on a "Tips and Tricks" site which is quite simple and uses some of the techniques mentioned before. Still not as nice as Karen's, but useful and fast nonetheless. First make a batch file named "PrintDir" (or something even more ingenious) and stick it in C:\ (or somewhere appropriate):
@echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad /p "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing"
exit
Then make a new reg key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Print Directory\command
with the following value:
c:\printdir.bat %1\
Now you can right click on any directory and select the "Print Directory" command and it will print a list of all folder names inside. To print a list of files also add "/s" after the "dir" command in the batch file. In fact, look at the DIR help page for even more options.

Maybe keep us posted on what pics you already got. I'd like to send a pic of the Timex-Sinclair 1000. Possibly the cheapest functional (barely...) personal computer ever made. (I got one when I was 12 when they went on sale for 10 bucks around christmas time.)
