Well, I didn't say it wasn't a challenge. :) I had initially thought to do 
it with C/C++, but after getting a look at the latest Java SDK, I decided to 
do it that way instead. I'm a passable C/C++ coder, but Java is much cleaner 
and less error-prone. I had initially ruled out Java because my most recent 
experience with it was JDK 1.0.2, but it's come a helluva long way since then.

The greatest challenge is actually not the code per se, but walking the 
fine line between nostalgia and new features.

Regards,

SSR (Corey)
