@Szabolcs I'll post what I came up with in the morning. At the moment it's too late for me plus I had some beer so any code I post now can't be relied on.
@magma He does, but his user name is different on the Mathematica site. Anyway, this chat room is (as far as I know) open to anyone with sufficient reputation (and is therefore good advertising).
@acl I found Goto useful, once, in mma. I was trying to figure out what a Fortran77 code did, and I translated it line by line into the equivalent mma code. It crashed, but not before giving me the info I needed.
What you want is done by
Graphics[Table[Circle[{a, 1}, 1], {a, 1, 2}]~Append~Text["It's finished", {0, 0}]]
Here's another approach, with minimal changes to your code:
Graphics[
{
a = 1;
Label[tag];
If[a < 3, {Sow@Circle[{a, 1}, 1], a = a + 1;
Goto[tag];}, {Sow@Tex...
first time I've seen Goto used in mma. I'll try to help him make the code more readable tomorrow.
@acl Incidentally, the Goto code reminds me of how the loops were done in that Fortran code I mentioned. It was to overlapping loops ... Brilliant and completely confusing.
@Verbeia I think your firewall is hardwired to accept connections only from "known" programs. Is the firewall on your computer, or on the computer you guys connect to?
@yoda Maybe later. I still have a long question queue... :)
oh you mean the calls. Yeah, you can opt out. I did a permanent opt out and I haven't been bothered at all. Yet, every time you sign up for a service, it's a new "opt in" to that service
@rcollyer heh, I used to do that. Initially I used to get annoyed by all the crap mail and I would stuff each of the "business reply envelopes" with paper and other stuff to make it heavy and mail it back. Did that for a month, and eventually realized that the system is too big to beat.
Not just that, I found out that these envelopes cost them something like 5-10c... way less than the regular cost
In the paper "The Riemann Hypothesis" by J. Brian Conrey in figure 6 there is a plot of the Fourier transform of the error term in the prime number theorem. See the plot to the left in the image below:

I tried to follow the directions on autonumbering cells in a Mathematica-8 notebook, here

I created a tiny notebook with four text cells
foo
qux
blancmange
bar
Placing the cursor just before foo, I then used the Insert...
although now it seems it's a mixture of the SO mma community and some mathgroup participants
by the way, I noticed there are now a few more questions on large-scale programming (by which I mean, anything over a single routine, so, packages etc) than before
@David Well, there's the "intuitive" bit of his question; at least you can see how it looks as a piecewise function. (I have upvoted your answer of course.)
But one can replace Append[]/Prepend[] here with ArrayPad[].
@David Newer versions are included in the help; if you open a help notebook, there are three little buttons to the left of the search box: a house, one with the text F[...] and a book. the book one is what you want.
@Szabolcs I posted a comment to this question asking about whether it is a valid answer if you just post links to packages and not demonstrating that the package can actually solve the OP's problem. Hopefully it doesn't offend anyone too much...
@Simon I did the xPrint part. Differential forms are not yet there. I did start a preliminary package some time ago, allowing xAct to work on forms with and without indices, but I left it aside for the moment. I will pick it up soon again. Right now i am very much into developing a package for Category theory
