Very cool.  Using a wireless keyboard to compose this
right now... need to update the shots on the website. 
Drywall's up and it's pretty usable.

I'd love to help out if I had a smidge of coding
skills, but I don't.  :(  I wasn't expecting any real
quick action... more just wanted to let you know that
someone out there is looking with a keen eye on your
software. :)

I'll let you all know in the next few weeks how it
works out for me.   This will be my first real attempt
at getting my ATI TV Tuner card to work under Linux
(don't even know if it will yet.)
