- I don't know if is sane or not. We're trying it. Ask me in about 4

- Yep they're thin. I don't know what you're expecting in the way of
- real-time support and/or numerical computations from classes. API's
- usually handle this sort of stuff pretty well.

- MFC is 95% a GUI wrapper. For non-gui, you MAY use the other 5%, but I'd
