- Actually, I was referring to the programming of Dave Koski and Garrick
- Toubassi. These guys are *good* and VirtSpace really shows it. The
- auto-scrolling feature is incredibly slick. No, it isn't a new idea but it
- showed some really creative thinking in the way they pulled it off.
-
- So, in summary - Dave and Garrick, good. VirtSpace, cool. Auto-Scrolling,
- slick. VirtSpace3.0, coming soon.........
