Surely it would be faster than Java swing. The issue of deciding on the gui is kind of an issue but as it would appear by the "Guis and Rubies" thread it is one that is still to be resolved. I'd like to start doing some basic prototyping (spike) of this tomorrow. Seeing as only Kevin and I seem to be in this discussion - would those of the list prefer to continue this in private or are others interested in this? I don't want to contribute to "noise" of this fantastic list if I can help it. Just let me know :) > Kevin - -- Signed, Holden Glova -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6O0BJzrxa+Gy/b/4RAkaOAJ9CeB4ETyTfDTRGPZ4RrhDiToeXOQCfQYeO TwYObANwDtqB9gDAzlj9tW0= =GNXx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
