 SA>  SD> Talk to Corey Snow.  Renegade is being rewritten in Java. :P

 SA>         It is?  Wow..Most have some good toolboxes out there

 CS> Well, I didn't say it wasn't a challenge. :) I had initially thought

        I think that was the last version for myself as well.  I
        think i still have that one around here somewhere.  Mainly
        stuff at work but not home.  Java is cleaner but give it
        a few more years it'll be like C so bogged down it'll
        be just as insane :)

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

       hehe...yep...Well you definitely have access to more web based
       stuff in the Java universe than the C universe so at least
       that's a plus.


... Who can figure a species like that? Beep beep!
