Hi Shaun and all. I actually have the lua development stuff installed on this computer and have toyed with the idea of learning it to the point that I have found an online edition of a book that is supposed to teach it to you, but have not actually done much more than that yet. I used to do some programming years ago and every once in a while I get in a state of mind where I think about getting back into it but so far I haven't. Other things in life usually come up first and take priority of what spare time I have. I'm actually considering learning java with the end goal of doing some apps for Android which is what runs on my phone. There are some things that I want it to do that are currently inaccessible and no one has come up with an app for, so I figure if I want it I may have to do it myself eventually. Don't know how far I will get with that but we'll see.

There are a few things that need it right now like the getright check version dialog.
