Perhaps I'll be in a better position to discuss this once I've
downloaded the source and taken a look at it. I must admit I'm afraid I
wouldn't be able to submit if everything were based on PowerPlant since I
haven't learned it and don't really plan to. I'm defenitely a Toolbox API
developer. I guess the question is when does "many people know PowerPlant"
become "most people know PowerPlant"? Perhaps we're already at that point.
That's why I wanted to hear about everybody's interestes and experience.
