HI Isaac, been wanting to try onTap for a while, lots of neat stuff in there, as a 'newbie' to onTap (most of my work is in Fusebox, facry and mG) , I'd like to see shorter task based tutorials, the 18 minute preso is great for an introduction (maybe trim some of the fat out and move it to a different location) but I need a step by step this is how we do it, Joe did a great job doing his Quick starts for model-glue, could be something to model on ???
anyways thanks for all your hard work, hopefully soon I'll be using onTap. Cheers On 6 f/17/05, S.
