[wxPython-dev] 20071113 test build uploaded

[Peter Damoc]

I second Kevin's opinion. I always download both. I'm a continuous learner
of wxpython and I'm always in a Learn-Apply circle.
Most of the time on my computer there are this apps open:
- Total Commander
- Firefox
- SciTE
- iTunes
- wx CHM
- The Demo
- python CHM

:)
