I second the Motion! Great Job Peter! Some more Dated Tidbits on the
Members main page would be cool too. Maybe some PSX RTOS bits and bytes.

That was what I was hoping for. It would be only a detriment to all of
the hobbyist game developers/designers if it were otherwise.

I am now trying as hard as I can to do just that. Mostly I'm going to
focus on the Game Designer part of the Yaroze or similar Gaming Platform 
paradigm. I have no details as yet, but I'm trying hard just the same.

E-mail me for your support. Hopefully I will be able to get a posting
with more detail. 
I'm also hoping to be at the E3 at the end of May. So if there is anyone
coming let me know. Atlanta is a fun town. Conferences there are always
a HUGE deal.
