If we could get the keys to the prototype castle, I'm sure there are a few of us that would be willing to contribute code, test, etc... It would probably be good to spend a couple hours with Chip to get the current lay of the land, itemize the issues that need to be resolved, make a plan, etc., in o...

Late to this bbs party...
