News and Updates
- 10/8/2003
- Website had a minor face lift to provide a more friendly interface
- Planning for the next stage of Stocks & Weather have begun. Several programmers have been gathered to port this C# version of the program into a non .NET required C++ version - date on release is undetermined. We collectively are not sure how much change (we fear drastic) are needed and how much time it will take - but it'll be a learning process.
