thanks _why. I've posted a bunch of bugs.

I get the impression that I'm perhaps one of the few that is
attempting to use Shoes in the 'real world' ... with users on all 3
major platforms doing typical internet things like posting files to
REST APIs.

I realise that Shoes is just a hobby project, and that perhaps I
shouldn't use hobby-ish projects for real-world useage ... but you
gotta understand that you're hitting many nails on the head with
shoes... .such as:

- easy GUI in Ruby
- cross-platform execution for 3 major OSes
- ability to package installables for 3 major OSes
- understanding and inspiration from projects like Processing.
- well thought out abstraction design
- Internet-as-a-platform mindset.

... its a worthwhile project to pursue. And I'd hazard a guess that it
has the potential to be a very widespread and important GUI toolkit
... if it can just reach code-stability...
