Hi Robin,
I've enjoyed the discussions with people on this mailing list.
Speed is such an objective term. Because it's based on your
observation point and how fast you are actually travelling etc..
If there is an interest, I'll make a beta release available
of some of the things that I have in about two weeks.
It will be an XML Grid client app that we've been working
on and trialing here in Sydney for the past six months.
When it's ready, I'll provide the download link so that
anybody who is interested can give our client for the
XML Grid a whirl.
Best Regards
David
