Kevin,
I'm very interested in what you're doing because I use my 770 in
similar ways. I'm curious to know as well why you chose to go the
direction you did rather than contribute to an existing project? Since I
have no programming experience I am locked into whatever is out there. I
try to follow the developments of the software from various points to
try and make educated choices, and I'm astounded at the large number of
people working towards a common goal not working together? Please don't
take this as an insult in any way. I am as frustrated as you are in the
lack of complete apps available.
Best Regards,
