  I have gotten a few e-mail today pointing out that I didn't post anything
about my progress on this web site on Sunday (like I promised above). I'm
not dead, just a little delayed. :) Anyway, I'm making pretty good headway
on the site and should have it wrapped up over the next couple of days. When
I'm done, I'll let everyone know so maybe we can start geting more hardware
into developers' hands!
