In all honesty I have been wanting to do this project for about 2 years, I have studied far too many methods on how to do this right and tried just about every other method and written a number of rpc systems to test which ones worked the best. I hope I have gotten it right! Just as a reference, Thomas has been plowing away at quarters and committed a massive amount of code this week, great work on Thomas Dziedzic's part! All in all I am just excited to see software development in the Arch community! I will persist that the Arch way should attract the best software engineers, because Arch is done right! -Thomas S Hatch
