Excitement here recently has centered around the declared intent of John and I to crank out a game program for the Mac. As many of you know, development of ANY application on the Mac is daunting; we have probably already insured the failure of our project by setting overly ambitious goals. But on the other hand, I think we'll both be satisfied so long as we have fun and learn something significant.

All of this is expensive as well as intimidating - I've probably spent close to $150 in manuals alone already.

On the work front, I'm trying to become conversant in warehousing. If successful, it will mean two or three weeks in Beautiful Boise for me later in the year - what an incentive! To help get me jump-started, I'm being sent to Cedar Rapids next week. Ahh, the glamorous life of the software specialist.
