Just to clarify. I showed one slide about this. I probably talked about it
for 3 minutes, like i did for everything else in this category. For me, the
presenter, this was about showcasing what people can do with the API.

I also like to say, that Mark approached me, like many others, when i asked
for showcase material a few weeks back. His project was choosen, by me, as
he presented it me on a level that made it technical interesting to talk
about.

The presentation is online at the XTech2007 site, if someone likes to verify
this.

And I do plan to continue to talk about it, assuming Mark does not revoke
this. It is a great API showcase, and that is the only thing that i care
about.
