Sweet, aint it? :) And to think, it's FREE. I've seen much lower quality 
software being sold for outrageous prices... (how much does WinXP cost, 
anyway? *BG*) And the API is turning into a developers DREAM. Why can't all 
sim makers be this good? Anyway, this will DEFINITELY be the software 
running the Merc Sim once that gets off the ground...

An interesting side note, if any of you here do frequent the forums, you 
probably know the character kevinrb quite well by now. Well anyway, I was 
talking to a friend of mine wednesday who is big into model rocketry. It 
turns out our friend Kevin "kevinrb" Martin used to frequent the 
rocketryonline forums as well, but got kicked off after perpetrating much of 
the things he did at Orbiter, as well as auctioning off a rocket kit, taking 
the guys money and then never sending the item. Too bad he didn't listen 
when Dr. Schweiger asked him not to post at Orbiter anymore....

PS - if you are at the Orbiter Forum, check out the thread "Cant get my New 
Lanch Pad into Vandenberg:(" in the Addons section, keeping in mind that 
"kevinrb" and "Taurus" are the same person (a fact that came out in a later 
thread) - highly amusing stuff, imho.

from the garage and contemplate the TLI burn)
