She wasn't interested in space before she met me, it's only when she saw 
Saturn through the telescope that she thought it was really cool and started 
to read a lot about it - she asks lots of questions.  But it's a very fine 
line to tread, if I try to make things too simple I get the "I'm not dumb - 
god who did you date before me" line, but go too far the other way and you 
get "ok i don't understand, i give up, don't bother".

Well that too :-)  I guess I just don't do much of the sort of stuff Haskell 
would be really good for.  OOC are there any "classic" examples of real life 
stuff Haskell does better than other languages?  Might give me some ideas.
