I was completely under the impression that the Rodeo editor was the only option, meaning that you *had to have* Mac hardware. That's all that has kept me from participating from day one. Shoot, in all of my previous questioning and comments, I wasn't trying to pester you folks into building the Rodeo editor for *any* other platform... I just wanted to play, period. I'm sure that I'll be perfectly content playing in the browser, whether on Windows or Linux (preferred, not required). > SO, I'm not sure that Transfer solves your hardware dependencies, but from > what I can tell, > it does.
