- Development of the package is still in progress. I have come accross
- several set backs.
-
- 1. Getting married. Yes, I tied the knot... Now I have no time
- for development :( ^^
-
- 2. OS switch. I finally upgraded (actually, purchased new)
- from an A500 1.2 to A3000 2.04
-
- 3. School. Right now, this is what takes all my time
- (besides the other half, that is)
-
- Anyways, things are still coming. I'm quite satisfied with the 2.0
- interface, and happy to say (or unhappy to others...) this application
- will absolutely REQUIRE 2.0! Anyways, for what I want the processor to
- do, I suspect an extreme alpha version in around 4-6 mo.
-
- Beta in about a year. Sorry, but I just don't have a lot of time.
- It is getting done, though... slowly but it's comming.
-
- I am extremely satisfied with what I have right now, though.
- I'll keep everyone posted as I go...
